According to a release from Moraine Park Technical College, it's the first collaboration between a technical college and a parochial high school.
Moraine Park Technical College's K-12 Partnership Manager Beth Roehl says it's an opportunity for students to engage in courses that they may not get to in high school.
"St. Mary's Springs changed their calendar to end in December and extended the second semester to start late so students can come here and take some of our coursework," Roehl said.
Roehl added that this year's group consisted of 49 juniors and seniors from St. Mary's Springs.
