Early College High School Senior Recognition Ceremony   
Thursday, May 15, 8:30-10 a.m.
Ivy Tech Community College, Vectren Auditorium
EVSC Early College is celebrating its FIRST graduating class of students who have attended this innovative program for four years. Twenty-two students will be featured as completing their four-year program in Early College during this ceremony. Preliminary information indicates that seniors in Early College this year have earned 677 college credits to date. And, with the addition of four who graduated early last year – the graduates for this cohort have earned a total of more than 757 college credits. Final figures will be available in a few weeks.
Also during the ceremony, Senior Class awards will be presented, as well as comments from the participating colleges where students attend classes – Ivy Tech, and the University of Evansville, Superintendent David Smith, and Early College Director Wendy McNamara.
Early college high schools are small schools designed so that students can earn both a high school diploma and work toward an associate’s degree or up to two years of credit toward a bachelor’s degree.
Early college high schools have the potential to improve high school graduation rates and better prepare students for high-skill careers by engaging all students in a rigorous, college preparatory curriculum and compressing the number of years to a college degree.
