    This school will provide you with excellent academic opportunities including your first 2 years of college free! However, the lack of extracurricular activities and athletic opportunities may make this school the wrong choice for you. But if you seek a strong academic chance, then ECHS will be the place for you.

    I am currently a Junior at Harlingen Early College High School and I truly find the people appealing due to the fact that we consider each other family and treat each other with respect. I enjoy the passion our teachers have towards teaching us and they are all very wonderful and kind. I wouldn't want to be in any other school. ECHS not only challenges one's mindset and character, but it also prepares us for college with the partnership we currently have with UTRGV even though we are only high school students at the moment. It pushes us to our full potential and lets us know that we can do anything and be anything as long as we remain with a positive mindest and work hard.
    Early College High School has given me the great opportunity to have hands-on learning with the college life. I started taking college courses my sophomore year of high school. The academics at my school are outstanding, every teacher cares about you and there's always a great student-teacher relationship. Diversity in my school is average since the area I live in is a majority-minority area. The College readiness is absolutely amazing, at my school by the time we're juniors all our classes have to be at the local college we are contracted with. Overall, early college high school is a great school with a great program giving students the opportunity to get college hours out of the way and saving money.
