If you are registered at St. Patrick's, over 21 years of age, and within your last 4 credits to graduate, you are eligible for the Adult Dual Credit.
Please see the flyer below for details, the first offering in the fall will be an online Food and Bake Theory class. You must be available every Tuesday afternoon from noon - 3 pm to take this class between the dates of Oct. 5, 2021 and Jan. 25, 2022.
