Early College High School

Early College High Schools (ECHS) provide students with the opportunity to earn one or more associate degrees while completing high school. These programs allow students to attend for up to five years to achieve a full associate degree. Enrollment in an ECHS program begins in 9th grade. We partner with four early college high schools: Beaufort County ECHS, Columbia ECHS, Hyde Academy, and Washington County ECHS. To apply, students should contact their middle school counselor or the appropriate ECHS directly.
