Terre Haute North earns Early College High School endorsement
Terre Haute North Vigo High School has been recognized as an endorsed Early College High School by the Center of Excellence in Leadership of Learning at the University of Indianapolis. 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.
