About Us...

The East Early College High School is a small high school with personalized instruction for each student. EECHS provides an accelerated, college-preparatory learning program, allowing students to combine high-school and college-level classes tuition-free. In contrast, the traditional process takes six years--four years of "free" public high school and two years of college classes for which one has to pay. This unique educational opportunity for the students of HISD is made possible through funding and support from the Houston Independent School District, Houston Community College System, and The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Currently EECHS has approximately 410 students enrolled for the 2009-2010 school year.

School colors: Crimson, white, and black

School motto: scientia omnia vincit  (Knowledge defeats all things)
