Arlington School & Family
As part of their commitment to foster a college-going culture, Tarrant County College Southeast Campus and Arlington Independent School District joined together to open TCC’s new $13 million Tarrant County College Southeast/Arlington ISD Collegiate High School. TCC and AISD officials were joined by community leaders to officially open the 30,000-square-foot building with a ribbon-cutting ceremony in August 2014. The Early College High School (ECHS) includes nine classrooms, two science laboratories with a preparatory room between them and one computer laboratory. It also includes a learning resource center, a 400-seat cafeteria/ auditorium, administrative offices and 250-parking spaces. As part of the partnership, Texas Trust Credit Union donated $35,000 to help launch the new school and will provide financial education resources and workshops throughout the school year for students, parents and faculty. The ECHS has the designation of an early college high school by the Texas Education Agency. This designation is for innovative high schools located on or near a college campus that will allow students who are at risk of dropping out of school and likely would not otherwise consider attending college an opportunity to earn a high school diploma and up to 60 college credit hours. Students have access to Tarrant County College facilities, resources and services, including the faculty, libraries, labs, artistic and cultural activities and extracurricular activities, as appropriate. There is no cost to the student to attend the school. The Arlington ISD will pay for tuition, fees and required textbooks to the extent those charges are not waived by Tarrant County College. “A clear objective in our strategic plan is for our students to have leading-edge learning experiences, and opening an early college high school certainly helps us to fulfill that goal,” Arlington ISD Superintendent Marcelo Cavazos said. “A collaboration such as this with our community partner Tarrant County College is vital to our students’ success and will make a tremendous positive impact on their future.”
