Within the Texas Education Code, Sec. 130.008 and Sec. 28.009 Texas Administrative
Code: Title 19, Part 1, Chapter 4, Subchapter D, Rules 4.81-4.85 (THECB) and Title 19, Part 2,
Chapter 74, Subchapter C, Rule 74.25 (Texas Education Agency) – allows for students who meet specific pre-requisites the opportunity to take college courses for credit while in high school.
However, students must showcase proficiency on the Texas Success Initiative prior to enrolling in college level courses. Yet, students’ who earned credit earned while in high school must still
meet the admission requirements of a First Time in College student at most Texas Institutions of Higher Education. This requires them to maintain a competitive class rank, standardized test
score, core GPA, and have taken an enhanced course curriculum.
In 2018, nearly 50% of all ECHS graduates enrolled in a Texas Institution of Higher Education (TEA, 2022). College readiness and student success are at the core of what we offer, which is why we also offer 1:1 college advising sessions for families and students along with college planning workshops for churches and other community-based organizations on a limited basis.
