Why apply to ECHS? "If you have any anxiety, or are nervous about where you’re going in the future, ECHS is the best place to go. ECHS can open your eyes to amazing opportunities and prepare you to face them down. You get a jump start on being an adult, with a significantly less amount of stress. When you come out of ECHS, you will have more direction, and be more prepared to handle the things coming your way."

Why apply to ECHS? "Someone should choose to go to Early College High School to not only further their education in the best way possible, but also to get a experience of a lifetime.

Why apply to ECHS? "ECHS provides the opportunity to take classes that can essentially put you half through to you bachelors and save you all of the cost. It is thousands of dollars in college debt that you will never have to experience. It also provides a close community of students as the number of individuals accepted is small enough to make socializing easy. Not to mention, the student-to-teacher ratio is much smaller than other schools and allows the teachers to provide more attention to each individual, even in college courses."

Why should a current 8th or 9th grade student apply to ECHS? "If they plan on embarking on a college path that requires a masters or doctoral degree, then ECHS really sets you ahead on getting started on the higher education and prepares you for the struggle of higher level learning."

Why apply to ECHS? "My first semester at ECHS I was not interested in being part of the program, I did not care, had low grades, etc., but my teachers and my principal never failed to encourage me and to fight for my future. They would see a side of me I wasn’t able to see and they never gave up on me and I’m thankful for that. This program is a challenging program, but at the end of the day it is worth it. You save time, you're able to learn how to manage your time , you get to struggle and get back up, you get to experience different challenges within the 4 years, but it is very enjoyable as well!"

Why apply to ECHS? "ECHS did not only just push me to the maximum, but prepared me for the future. Which I want to give thanks to everyone in that school!

Application window closes March 1st. Apply through this link: https://forms.gle/yxzgGBorttUtRhm77

Why apply to ECHS? "I would recommend someone to go to ECHS because of all of the financial and personal benefits. Knowing that 2 years of your education is paid for is extremely beneficial to many families. There are also endless opportunities and benefits outside of the high school. I was able to receive different grants and scholarships in my later college years just because I attended ECHS in high school.

Why apply to ECHS? "I’ve noticed a lot of other students from other high schools didn’t maintain a relationship with their professors. Or even know how to compose an email to a teacher. That is very crucial when moving to the next step. The work load does not get harder if anything it’s a lot calmer and easier than grade school."
