Coming in the 2026-2027 School Year

Exciting News: Early College High School Coming in 2026–2027!

Beginning with the 2026–2027 school year, our district will launch an Early College High School (ECHS) program designed to give students a powerful head start toward their future. Through this innovative opportunity, students will have the chance to earn an Associate Degree in Liberal Arts while completing their high school education—at no cost to families.

The ECHS program will feature a strong emphasis on Math, Science, Engineering, and Health Science, preparing students for high-demand college and career pathways. Participants will engage in rigorous coursework, hands-on learning, and real-world experiences that build critical thinking, problem-solving, and leadership skills.

By the time they graduate, ECHS students will not only have a high school diploma but also a college degree and a competitive edge—ready to continue their studies or step confidently into the workforce.

This program represents a bold step forward in expanding opportunities, equity, and academic excellence for all students. The Early College High School is more than a new program—it’s an investment in our students’ futures and the future of our community.
