What is Early College?
High school and college, side by side.
Gilliam's Early College High School partners with higher education institutions so scholars take real college courses while earning their diploma, with advising, tutoring, and bridge programs every step of the way.
Our designation hub shares the plans, partnerships, and supports behind the program, organized by TEA's five benchmarks.
