Campus Profile

The Early College High School was established in Del Valle ISD during the 2015-2016 school year, and the Pathways in Technology Early College High was launched in the 2021-2022 school year. Both schools render rigorous coursework as students meet the challenge of being a high school and college student. As a result, this enables students to simultaneously earn a high school diploma, Level 1 Certificate, and an Associate of Applied Science degree (P-TECH only), or an Associate of Arts degree (ECHS only) from Austin Community College at no cost to the student nor their family. These unique school within a traditional high school models are 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.
