You follow GRCC’s schedule for your GRCC class and your home high school’s schedule for the rest of your classes. That means that some days you may attend your home high school for half day and have the other half off due to a Marion Community Schools day off. Other days you will attend your GRCC class for half day and have the other half off due to a day off at your home high school. In the end you will still have attended 180 days of school at your home high school and 180 days at GRCC. To view Marion Community Schools' system-wide calendar, click here.
