Failure is NOT an option!

Welcome!

Design Science High School is an innovative approach to high school education. DSHS offers students the opportunity to earn a high school diploma and college credit at the same time.

Design Science High School (DSHS) is a joint venture between Fresno Unified School District, Fresno City College, Foundation for California Community Colleges and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. DSHS is an accelerated program that incorporates college and high school curriculum. Student focus on Construction Management, Engineering and Architecture. Students will complete their ninth and tenth grade requirements in the first two years of work in the Design Science High School, and formally matriculate as full-time Fresno City College students in the fall of their 11th grade year. Students will then select one of four career/educational pathways: Construction, Construction Management, Architecture, or Engineering. Students will earn their high school diploma and have the opportunity to earn an associate of arts degree, transferable credit to a CSU or UC, or a certificate of completion from their chosen pathway.
