That represents 66%, or two-thirds, of the entire class. Remaining students will graduate with a significant number of college hours and all students will graduate high school on time.

Nationally, 23% of early college high school students graduate with Associate Degrees and 94% earn college credit. The on time high school graduation rate is 93%.[1]

This year is the fifth graduating class for CECHS. To date, 256 students have graduated and 144 have earned Associate degrees. Seventy-six percent continue higher education with most pursuing Bachelor's Degrees.
