A Community of Best Practice

Early College High Schools are an innovative approach that blends high school and college. These research-based programs allow students to graduate from high school while simultaneously earning college credits toward a degree and/or industry-recognized certification. Early College High Schools give students the launch pad they need to succeed while building the workforce and economy of the surrounding community. 

Pathway2Careers, in partnership with the New Mexico Public Education Department, provides technical assistance, coaching, and resources for ECHS-NM designees, applicants, and prospective applicants. You will find information about upcoming events, designation criteria and requirements, the application process, past event materials, and many other supportive resources and tools on this resource site
