Campus Profile

The Early College High School (ECHS) was established in Del Valle ISD during the 2015-2016 school year. It is a unique school that offers students rigorous coursework in high school and college. This enables students to simultaneously earn a high school diploma and an Associate of Arts degree from Austin Community College at no cost to the student or their family. This unique school within a traditional high school setting is designed around the bold idea that academic rigor, combined with the opportunity to save time and money toward a college degree, are powerful motivators for students to work hard and rise to new intellectual challenges.
