Terre Haute North earns Early College High School endorsement
Endorsed Early College High Schools offer students the opportunity to graduate from high school with a high school diploma and the Indiana College Core, an associate degree, a technical credential, or 15 or more dual credits. The goal is to reduce barriers between high school and college.
For the 2022 cohort, 79% of Early College High School program graduates went on to college, compared to 53% of Indiana graduates.
Early College programs are a nationally recognized model enabling students to earn college credit while in high school. In Indiana, CELL endorses — or accredits — high quality Early College High Schools based on their adherence to meeting eight core principles, such as establishing a college-going culture and providing strong student supports.
To be considered, Terre Haute North prepared a portfolio that addressed the eight core principles of Early College High Schools. In addition, a team from CELL visited the school to interview stakeholders about the program and its benefits and challenges.
As of the 2023-24 school year, 60 high schools across the state were recognized as endorsed Early College High Schools.
Earlier this week VCSC announced a similar achievement for West Vigo High School. West was selected by CELL at the University of Indianapolis to be a partner school in the Rural Early College Network 2.0 as part of a $10 million Education Innovation and Research grant from the U.S. Department of Education.
Through RECN 2.0, CELL will help 20 rural high schools implement Early College High School programs, providing advanced coursework and increasing the number of students who go on to college.

Dear Abby: My dad's girlfriend is kicking me out of my childhood home
DEAR ABBY: My parents divorced when I was in high school, and Dad kept the house I grew up in. I'm in college across town and have my own place, but I still visited Dad often. As a teenager, it used to be my job to cook the family dinner two nights a week. I loved it and continued to cook when I was visiting. Dad now has a serious girlfriend who has moved in with him. She's uncomfortable with a 'guest' being in 'her' kitchen and says it's appropriate for me to only be in the living room when I visit. If I want a glass of water, I'm supposed to ask her for it. She calls it being a good host, but it feels like a power move to push me out. Dad says it's her house and her rules. I'm sad that what was my home for 18 years is now off-limits. I get that she's insecure about the relationship and wants to put some distance between me and my dad, but I no longer feel welcome in the house I grew up in because she's so rigid. I have invited them (both) to my place, but they haven't accepted. What do I do now? — PUSHED OUT IN ARKANSAS DEAR PUSHED: Your father's girlfriend appears to be both controlling and insecure, and your father has made clear that he doesn't want to rock the boat. Under the circumstances, you have no choice but to follow the new 'house rules.' If you can abide by them, visit your dad. If you can't reconcile yourself, then you may have to wait for him to miss your presence in his life before he will consent to be a guest at your place. (What a sad state of affairs. I'm sorry.) DEAR ABBY: I am an animal person. I love all kinds, but when it comes to dogs, I don't like the smell, the mess, the fur, the jumping, the slobbering and the general mayhem of an untrained dog. My spouse's family has many dogs, big and small. They're not trained — the family prefers them that way. They think it's 'cute' when they jump or climb on a visitor's lap. They believe it's a way to 'win people over.' Their dogs are allowed on the furniture, making it very smelly. They also feed them while we are at the dinner table. I understand people love their pets and treat them like family, and I wouldn't expect them to change their ways for me. But I also don't see why I should subject myself to something that disgusts me. Is there a polite way to tell them I am not comfortable eating or visiting in their home? I've learned the quickest way to pick a fight is to say 'I don't like dogs' to a dog person. (I have a cat but would never dream of dragging her out in public or to someone's home.) My in-laws also allow smoking in their home. I am a non-smoker. I don't do bad smells well. Have you any advice? — IN THE DOGHOUSE IN FLORIDA DEAR 'DOGHOUSE': I sure do. Be open and honest with your dog-loving in-laws. Tell them exactly what you have written to me, and (trust me on this) you won't be subjected to their hospitality again. Problem solved. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

My husband is 10 years older than me. The age gap was noticeable when we first started parenting, but now I see it as an asset.
When I met my now-husband, I was 19 and he was 29. Initially, our age gap highlighted differences in life experiences and parenting styles. A decade later, these differences are no longer a source of friction. I met my now-husband and father of my children when I was only 19, still a sophomore in college, living with my parents. He was 29, living in a home he owned, operating his own business, and already a father to a 3-year-old son. In the greenest part of our relationship, our age difference was most evident in the way our minds worked. Mine was still learning how to be an adult, while he had a firm grasp on who he was. He was actively raising a child, and I had just been one myself a few years prior. Still, I fell right into loving and parenting his son with him. Three years later, we began having our own children together and ventured off onto an entirely different learning curve. At first, we had to navigate boundaries When all we had was our oldest (my bonus son, as I call him), I set boundaries for myself. I let my husband handle most of the discipline and never overrode his decisions, even if I had a different opinion. I respected that he was his biological parent (and he had a biological mother in the picture too) and I was not. When I gave birth to my first biological child, I remember grappling with the feeling of: "This is fully my child. He isn't any more mine or his. He is as much my son as he is my husband's." I also felt inferior in some ways, because I knew my husband had already raised a baby successfully, and I was just trying to figure out what I was doing. Our son was colicky as a newborn, and my husband was so good at getting him to stop crying. You know when you're holding someone else's baby and they start to cry, so you hand them back to their parents? I caught myself doing that a few times with my own baby and husband. That made me feel like I wasn't capable of handling my son on my own. Our perspectives shifted, and we adjusted timelines We welcomed a third child into our family — a daughter — when our oldest was 10 and our other son was 4. I liked the way our kids were spaced out. I felt like I had time to enjoy each one of them in their youngest years. Around the time we had our daughter, though, my husband started thinking more about his age, and it became a factor in how we moved forward with our family. "I don't want to be at retirement age by the time our youngest graduates high school," he'd say. And while plenty of people continue having children well into their 40s, that wasn't something my husband wanted to do, and I respected that. This eventually compelled me to wind my own biological clock up to tick at a faster pace. I wanted one more baby, and so did he, but we had to close the gap between kids three and four — so we had our last son a month before our daughter turned 2. Time has taught us a lot Now, more than a decade into parenting together, the age gap that once felt like a noticeable lapse in experience just feels like balance. There are moments where our perspectives still differ — when I want to give the kids the benefit of the doubt while he wants to follow through with discipline to teach them lessons — but our differences are no longer a source of friction. They're part of what makes our parenting dynamic work. Our children get the best of both of us, and I've come to believe the space between our ages has given us more to offer, not less.
