What is Early College High School?
JB Alexander High School Early College Academy (AHSECA) is a small school designed for students to earn both a high school diploma and an associate’s degree or up to 60 hours of credit toward a bachelor’s degree.
AHSECA has the potential to improve high school graduation rates and better prepare all students for high-skilled careers by engaging them in a rigorous, college-preparatory curriculum and compressing the number of years towards a college degree.
Why Early College High School?
Did you know that…
For every 10 students that start high school:
- 8 will finish and obtain a high school diploma
- 6 will enroll in a post-secondary institution
- Only 3 will complete a bachelor’s degree within 10 years.
A post-secondary education is essential for financial and personal freedom in today’s economy. A four-year college graduate earns two-thirds more than a high school graduate does. An associate’s degree translates into significantly more earnings than with a high school diploma alone.
TEXAS A&M INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY VISIT
During our recent campus visit, students engaged in a variety of activities that provided a comprehensive understanding of college life. They explored the campus facilities, which included state-of-the-art classrooms, libraries, and recreational areas. The visit to the engineering labs allowed them to see firsthand the cutting-edge technology and equipment used in their field of study.
Additionally, students participated in discussions about student life and support services, learning about available resources such as academic advising, tutoring, and mental health services. This informative experience not only enhanced their knowledge of the college environment but also helped them envision how they would navigate their own college journey. Overall, our students left with valuable insights and a greater sense of what to expect as they prepare for their future studies.
