Running Start is a program whereby thousands of New Hampshire high school students earn college credits while at the same time completing their secondary school requirements through the State’s Two-Year College System.   

“Running Start is a great opportunity for high school students to experience college coursework and form relationships with college faculty,” says Decato, who was an honor student of Snow’s while in high school at the Huot Technical Center in 1994. “Students that successfully complete a Running Start course are more likely to continue their education beyond high school.”
