MMHS Program of Studies
Mashpee Middle-High Schools is proud to offer our students a wide variety of courses to meet their academic needs and interests. We are continuously evolving, as are our students.
The program of studies represents the menu of course and program offerings. There are hundreds of courses -- in the traditional academic disciplines and in our valued elective programs. There are courses at different levels including advanced placement programs. In addition, there are four alternative programs -- dual enrollment, career pathways, some with certification programs-- these enable us to address the needs of all of our students.
Your responsibility is to choose the most appropriate and challenging program for you. I encourage you to read the catalog carefully and discuss it with your teachers, your counselor, and your parents—all to ensure that you make the best selections you can.
Dual Enrollment
Mashpee Middle-High School proudly participates in the Massachusetts Commonwealth Dual Enrollment Partnership (CDEP), which provides high school students with the opportunity to take college-level courses—either for free or at a significantly reduced cost. According to CDEP,
“The Massachusetts Commonwealth Dual Enrollment Partnership (CDEP) provides opportunities for Massachusetts high school students to take college-level courses for free or at a discounted price and earn credit toward high school completion and their future college degrees.”
Through established partnerships with Cape Cod Community College and Massachusetts Maritime Academy, eligible Mashpee students can enroll in college courses and earn both high school and college credit at the same time. Courses may be taken online or on the college campus, depending on the program and schedule.
Dual enrollment can reduce the number of college courses students need after high school, potentially saving time and money in earning a college degree. However, not all students are eligible for dual enrollment, and admission may depend on academic readiness and course availability.
Students and families are encouraged to speak with their school counselor to explore dual enrollment opportunities, determine eligibility, and decide whether dual enrollment or Advanced Placement (AP) courses are the best fit for their academic goals.
“I am who I am today because of the choices I made yesterday.”
— Eleanor Roosevelt
Advanced Placement (AP)
Mashpee Middle-High School offers a strong selection of Advanced Placement (AP) courses to help students challenge themselves academically and prepare for success beyond high school. If you're interested in taking an AP class, we encourage you to speak with your school counselor. Many AP courses have prerequisites and require a teacher recommendation.
All students enrolled in an AP course are required to take the corresponding AP exam. Mashpee Middle-High School covers the full cost of all AP exams, ensuring access and equity for all learners.
