Empowering Rural Students through Early College High School Partnerships in Texas

The Texas Early College High School program, in partnership with TSTC Marshall and other educational councils, serves seven rural school districts, empowering students from 8th to 12th grades. Through personalized tutoring and the ADVANCER program, students start taking college courses in 9th grade, aiming for quality higher education. Challenges include attracting qualified teachers and coordinating with college schedules. The program focuses on helping students create six-year plans, earn certifications, and connect with local schools for quality education.
