    South Early College High School is a small, safe, academically focused high school where the student-centered focus is on preparation for college success and positive community engagement.


    Class of 2015 The STUDENTS
    To ensure that students are academically prepared for college, all students are enrolled in 9th/10th grade pre-Advanced Placement (AP), AP,  and dual-credit courses through a partnership with Houston Community College. South Early College High School students may earn a minimum of 60 college-credit hours before graduating from high school! To develop well-rounded college applicants, the school’s curriculum also provides social action internships, designed to give students real-world experience and enhance their interpersonal skills. South Early College High School students accumulate over 200 hours of community service during their four years of high school. Any student who lives within the Houston ISD attendance boundaries may apply for enrollment. Our student body includes gifted/talented, special education, 504, and at-risk students who all benefit from the personalized, nurturing learning environment provided at our school. The majority of our students are their family’s first generation college-bound students.
