After seeing the successful partnership between Bozeman High and Gallatin College, Gov. Steve Bullock wants all Montana students to have a chance to gain college credit and experience before they graduate from high school.
On Thursday, Bullock spent a few hours in Bozeman learning more about Gallatin College and the part it plays in the high school’s dual enrollment program.
The stop was part of the governor’s “Back to School Tour,” on which he visited 15 schools around the state that are working on innovative programs to encourage students to graduate and continue their educations after high school.
In his State of the State address in January, Bullock set a goal of having 60 percent of Montanans earn a college degree within the next decade.
