![Since the inception of Ankeny High’s dual enrollment program with DMACC in the early 2000s, AHS students have had access to a number of college-level courses right in the building. English teacher Karin Cowger, who has been teaching at AHS since the beginning of the program said she’s enjoyed watching students take advantage of the opportunity and the challenge that comes with it. “We have more kids in the program…I think [the growth of the program] has been not necessarily what we’re doing, but how many kids have been affected by it.”](https://ahstalonnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Flags-1.png)
