Watauga Innovation Academy

  • WIA

    The Watauga Innovation Academy is a Cooperative & Innovative High School (CIHS) that is housed on the Watauga High School campus but gives eligible students opportunities far beyond that of a standard high school. The WIA has partnered with Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute (CCCTI) to bring you this rewarding dual credit program.

    The WIA works cooperatively with CCCTI to give students of any grade level the opportunity to earn college credit at the same time they earn high school credit. Students follow a focused pathway with a four-year, five-year, or six-year plan that produces a high school diploma and a college certificate or diploma. Successful students can transfer their earned college credits for a further degree or begin work immediately for higher pay.

  • WIA Application

    The WIA Application for the 2019-2020 School Year is due at the same time as your registration for 9th grade! Please contact your school counselor if you are planning to apply. You and your parents will need to complete the application together.

WIA Announcements

  • An email has been sent to all WIA students. Attached is the emailed statement regarding the necessary updates to the WIA pathways. Please know that CCC&TI and WIA are making every effort to accommodate students currently working on a certificate and that there is no loss in current nor historical dual-enrollment credits. Comparable classes from the removed pathways are still available for students to earn high school credit only. Thank you for your understanding in this process as we work to match our community college partner.
