Early College High Schools
Partnering Early College High Schools are the primary project implementation sites: enrolling students, offering pathway courses, supporting dual enrollment, and helping students succeed in their academic and on-the-job experiences. ECHS leaders also help guide the project implementation to make sure students’ needs are met.
ECHSs will select one or more IT programs to support from their existing higher education partners. If the programs of interest are NOT available from their partners, ECHSs may enter into agreements with other partners to make sure students can access the programs that will serve them best.
For information about all NM Early College High Schools, visit the NM ECHS Portal.
