Gautier High also partners with Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College for its Collegiate Academy program. Collegiate Academy allows students to simultaneously earn a high school diploma and an Associate’s Degree. Rising juniors who meet the state’s college-ready benchmarks in English and Math and have a 3.0 GPA are allowed to participate. These students may choose to take some dual-enrollment classes on the GHS Campus or meet exclusively at the Jackson County campus of MGCCC.
