The 2025-28 agreement allows for the continuation of a relationship between the two organizations at the following schools: Fleming Island High School, Keystone Heights Jr.-Sr. High School, Middleburg High School, Oakleaf High School and Orange Park High School. This agreement allows Clay County students to enroll in college courses on the campuses of each high school listed. The agreement outlines policies pertaining to Dual Enrollment and the roles and responsibilities of each organization.

Clay County Aerospace students continue to take advantage of the Dual Enrollment program and earn college level credits. It is expected that the total number of students in this program will continue to grow.
