PARTNERING AGREEMENT — St. Martin Superintendent of Schools Allen Blanchard Jr. and SLCC Chancellor Natalie Harder (seated, center) last week signed an innovative partnership agreement instituting a college credit program for parish high school students. The “Collegiate Technical Academy” agreement will allow dual-enrollment students to earn college-level technical diplomas or associate degrees from SLCC while attending the parish’s College and Career Readiness Center in a variety of fields.
