MARTINSBURG, WV — The first group of Berkeley County high school students who are taking dual enrollment classes at Shepherd University’s Martinsburg Center started class August 21. Forty senior students from Spring Mills, Martinsburg, Hedgesville, and Musselman high schools were bused to the Martinsburg Center where they will spend the morning taking classes in English, psychology, and algebra. They will then return to their schools to finish the day. Four Shepherd professors are traveling to the Martinsburg Center to teach the courses, which are offered in a block schedule. Students will take three classes in the fall and another three in the spring semester, giving them the opportunity to earn 18 college credits this year.
