The '''Polk Community College Collegiate High School''' is a [[charter school|charter]] [[high school]] located on both the [[Lakeland, Florida|Lakeland]] and [[Winter Haven, Florida]] campuses of [[Polk Community College]].
The program is unique in that it is located in a [[community college|college]] campus and offers high school [[eleventh grade|juniors]] and [[twelfth grade|seniors]] the opportunity to earn their [[associate degree]] or [[MCSE #Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer|MCSE]]/[[Certified Novell Engineer|CNE]] certification (for [[Information Technology|IT]] students) at the same time as their [[high school diploma]], with [[course (education)|course registration]] and [[textbooks]] provided completely free of charge.
==Admittance==
Admittance to CHS is based on a [[lottery]] of sorts. Potential candidates for the program are screened toward the end of their [[tenth grade|sophomore]] year to verify that they have an unweighted 3.2 [[GPA]] for the AA or a 2.5 GPA for either the IT or [[Allied Health]] programs. They must also have a minimum of eleven high school credits and be on track for [[graduation]]. Then, they are mailed an invitation to an information session and are given registration packets. There is then a random drawing from the registered students to choose the ones who will attend the following school year.
