With the cooperation of UCC and SOU, Riddle High School is able to accommodate two years of college English credit.  In alternating years, through UCC, we offer WR121-122.  The next year we are able to offer English through SOU that focuses more on literature.  If a student is attending a state school, all credits transfer and UCC's classes meet the state higher education core requirements.
