Delaware County Community College and the Coatesville Area Senior High School have partnered to allow students to earn college credits and high school credits simultaneously. Beginning in 10th grade students can take courses in liberal arts. Participating students can earn their associate's degree while still in high school. This program is free to students who attend the Coatesville Area Senior High School. Not only is there no cost, but the future financial savings are tremendous, in some cases allowing the students to eliminate two years of expense for a typical four year college. Please be sure to read more details about this program in the Course Selection Guide beginning on page six.

Coatesville Area Intermediate HS (CAIHS) – Parents dropping off are to enter campus using N. 11th Avenue to Foundry Road (Red Raider Road). The drop off and pick-up loop is in the CAIHS parking lot. Parents are to exit Red Raider Road to N. 11th Avenue. The rear gate is open from 6:45am-7:30am and 2:00pm to 2:45pm. Crossing Foundry Road from CASH to the CAIHS will not be permitted. This causes major congestion and interferes with our buses traversing the campus.
