{"A":"Franklin City Public Schools","B":"Vanguard Early College Academy","C":"Vanguard Early College Academy has enabled numerous qualifying Franklin High School students the opportunity to earn an Associate Degree in Computer Science through Tidewater Community College. They are able to take courses either online or in-person in addition to their regular high school classes. This is no mere summer computer camp; the students who want to be in VECA prove their commitment to learn by maintaining at least a 3.0 GPA. They must also successfully complete Algebra I and Geometry by the end of their freshman year. Ultimately, students gain a foundation of knowledge and skills for nearly any career that requires the use of computers (support, programming, websites, etc.). In addition, students may earn an Associate Degree in General Studies from Camp Community College. Earning these degrees can serve as an incentive to further one’s education.","D":"Ms. Kelsey Bunch, Franklin High School Guidance Registrar, kbunch@fcpsva.org, 757-562-5187, Ext. 1197","E":""}
