Alum: Wilkes Early College High School is a 5 year program in which you take high school and college classes, and once you graduate, you receive both a high school diploma and an associate’s degree. It is a great program for anyone who knows what they want to do for a career, but it can be somewhat difficult for someone who doesn't really know yet. One thing I loved about the Early College program was that it was set on an actual college campus, so it helped familiarize myself with how college works and it definitely gave me a taste of how tough college can be. My main point of advice for anyone looking to apply to the program is this: Your five years here will help shape your future so please take them seriously. There will be a point where you will experience burn out, but push through it and don't give up. The Early College gives you all the tools you need to succeed, but you have to want to succeed. The hard work is well worth the reward.
