We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Going to HCS Early College High School definitely was a different experience, it was not like your typical High School, your classes are smaller in size and there are not as many teachers so that creates an opportunity for the teachers and the students to have a closer bond with each other. The best part about attending ECHS is it sets you up for success, and the worst part is that it is alot of stress being that you are fresh out of middle school and you already have to start thinking about college and taking courses on a college level.
