Early
College High Schools (ECHS) are innovative high schools that allow students
least likely to attend college an opportunity to earn a high school diploma and
60 college credit hours.
Early College High Schools:
- Provide
dual credit at no cost to students
- Offer
rigorous instruction and accelerated courses
- Provide
academic and social support services to help students succeed
- Increase
college readiness, and
- Reduce
barriers to college access.
ECHS Summer Programs:
The ECHS
Summer programs (AKA "Bridge") are designed for rising 9th grade students that
will be part of the designated ECHS. This program provides students with
opportunities to improve their skills and prepare themselves for college level
coursework. Components of this program include: EDUC 1300 (My Cougar Course), TSI Prep, and college readiness workshops.
