On September 30th, U.S. Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, recognized Early College High School as one of 337 schools in the nation as National Blue Ribbon Schools for 2014 based on their overall academic excellence or their progress in closing
achievement gaps among student subgroups.
“These great schools are fulfilling the promise of American education—that all students, no matter their name or zip code, can flourish when schools provide safe, creative, and challenging learning environments,” Secretary Duncan said. “National Blue Ribbon Schools are models of consistent excellence and a resource for other schools and districts. We celebrate them for their tireless effort and boundless creativity in reaching and teaching every student.”
The National Blue Ribbon Schools Program honors public and private elementary, middle, and high schools where students either achieve very high learning standards or are making notable improvements in closing the achievement gap. The award affirms the hard work of students, educators, families and communities in creating safe and welcoming schools where students master challenging content.
Congratulations to all of our ECHS family, past and present, on this wonderful award!
