Pratt Community College allows high school students to enroll in college classes through a program called College Start. This program has a separate application process for high school students, but enrollment is much like regular college students. Pratt Community College offers reduced tuition rates for its high school students. Other fees may apply.

Kingman High School uses Pratt Community College for the Composition I & II classes, Microsoft Applications (CTE), Marketing (Marketing Communications – CTE), and Web Page Design. Pratt Community College also has various on-line classes that students utilize as well. Students wanting to take these courses must have a Pratt Community College account created and enroll in the courses through the account. Please follow the steps below for the appropriate stage of enrollment.

Getting Started:

1. Parents and Students need to read the College Start Program Information packet

3. The student will receive emails containing username and password. The student must then follow the instructions and log into their account.
