Hampton expands dual-enrollment offerings with VPCC; district reports 52,173 earned credits and $6.7M in family savings
Summary
District leaders said credentialed dual-enrollment teachers rose from 38 to 51, student participation climbed from 8.13% (2021) to 22.3% now, students have earned 52,173 dual-enrollment credits since 2014 and estimated family savings total about $6.7 million; a new associate of science in education at Kecoughtan was announced.
District leaders told the board on May 6 that Hampton City Schools continues to expand dual-enrollment opportunities in partnership with Virginia Peninsula Community College (VPCC).
Dr. Sean Callender, director of secondary school leadership, said the number of credentialed dual-enrollment instructors rose from 38 in 2025 to 51 this year and that participation increased from 8.13% of 10th–12th graders in 2021 to 22.3% today. He said students have earned 52,173 dual-enrollment credits since 2014 and that the cumulative family savings from credits completed locally amounts to roughly $6,700,000, calculated using VPCC tuition rates.
The board heard that six students met requirements for VPCC's Uniform Certificate of General Studies (UCGS). Presenters also announced a new associate of science in education to launch at Kecoughtan High School, intended to prepare students for careers in education and to begin with the current ninth-grade cohort.
Board members praised the work and noted the difficulty many districts face in recruiting credentialed teachers for dual-enrollment courses; presenters described stipends and tuition reimbursements offered to build capacity.
