Dual enrollment

The high schools offer a dual enrollment program. This state program permits high school students to take courses, at local higher education institutions, to earn college credits, which are offered at a discounted rate. Students remain enrolled at their high school. The courses count towards high school graduation requirements and towards earning a college degree. The students continue to have full access to activities and programs at their high school. The state offers a small grant to assist students in costs for tuition, fees and books.[2] Under the Pennsylvania Transfer and Articulation Agreement, many Pennsylvania colleges and universities accept these credits for students who transfer to their institutions.[3]

For the 2009–10 funding year, the school district received a state grant of $8,786 for the program.[4]

Extracurriculars

The district offers a variety of clubs, activities and sports.

By Pennsylvania law, all K-12 students in the district, including those who attend a private nonpublic school, cyber charter school, charter school and those homeschooled, are eligible to participate in the extracurricular programs including all athletics. They must meet the same eligibility rules as the students enrolled in the district's schools.[5]

Athletics

Bedford High School is a member of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (District V), and plays in the Laurel Highlands Athletic Conference.
