The Middle College of LCS, offered in partnership between Dyersburg State Community College (DSCC) and Lauderdale County Schools, began in Fall 2022. This program offers a unique pathway for students to accomplish secondary and postsecondary goals simultaneously while in a supportive and small learning community. This rigorous program begins in the student's junior year and enrolls them in high school courses locally and in college courses at DSCC. Upon successful completion of course requirements at the end of their senior year, students will graduate with their high school diploma AND an Associate's Degree in General Studies from DSCC.
