Clinton High School has partnered with North Central MA Early College Academy. NCMECA includes higher educational institutions Fitchburg State University and Mount Wachusett Communtiy College. The EC Program at CHS will start in grade 9 and will allow CHS grade 11 and 12 students to enroll in college classes and earn college credit while still in high school. These classes are FREE to all students. These college credits are transferable to college upon graduation from CHS.

Why are we offering Early College at CHS?
EC students have the advantage of a smoother transition between high school and the college of their choice.
They develop a college-level mentality sooner than their peers, which can help them handle college workloads and balance school and a social life.
This will be especially beneficial since many students have trouble adjusting to college during their first year.
