The Thompson Career Campus partners with Aims to offer courses in four CTE pathways so students can earn college credit in high school.

Earn College Credit at Thompson Career Campus

Thompson Career Campus (TCC) is a college and career preparedness program located on the Ferguson High School campus in Loveland, Colorado. TCC is open to all Thomson School District (TSD) students in 10th, 11th or 12th grades and partners with Aims Community College so students can earn college credit while attending high school. 

Concurrent Enrollment is embedded into all four CTE pathways at Thompson Career Campus to provide advanced learning opportunities to enrolled students. The guiding philosophy for concurrent enrollment at TCC is that it eliminates disparities in student achievement, growth, graduation rates, behavioral outcomes and educational opportunities. Offering college-level coursework to TSD students in high school supports equity systems and prepares all students to contribute to their community and compete in a global economy.

"I have found something that I enjoy doing and have a reason to finally try in school."
--William Bogner, Thompson Career Campus Construction student
