COHORT ACADEMY

The Cohort Academy at ERHS offers a guided four year plan to a small cohort of 9th grade students. This four year plan blends in high school and Dual Enrollment courses into the school day so students can earn embedded transferable college credits while meeting high school requirements. One of the student's six classes per semester will be a Dual Enrollment course taught by a Norco College instructor. ERHS saw its pilot cohort of students participating in the Cohort Academy during the 2025-26 school year.

How Are Students Selected?

Incoming 9th grade students interested in the c/o 2030 Cohort Academy complete an INTEREST FORM in the spring of their 8th grade year. This allows the Dual Enrollment team to review the student's interest, additional commitments, etc.

The ideal student for Cohort Academy:

Is not in another program (e.g. AVID, Dual Immersion, Puente, STEM, or Umoja) as students in programs have impacted four year plans
Had a middle school GPA of 2.5 - 3.5
Is ready to be independent and take on college courses, working with college instructors

If you are in a program or have an impacted schedule, you can still take Dual Enrollment courses! Most courses are offered online for you to add on in addition to your ERHS courseload.

ERHS Early College Cohort Plans

What Do I Enroll in for Summer and Fall 2026?

Current 9th graders (c/o 2029): During the registration period, enroll into the Online HIS-2 for summer and High School PSYC-9 in the fall.

Current 8th graders (c/o 2030) approved for the cohort: During the registration period, enroll into the High School GUI-47 in person course for fall.

Students who select these courses will need to:

Filter "Course Type" to High School and select the best course option.
Meet with their School Counselor between April-July to have your high school schedule reflect "College Course" in the designated period.
Only attend class during class meeting times. Students will be off campus (late start or early dismissal) when class is not in session.
- (e.g. GUI-47 students stay home on Wednesdays during the period you select as you do not have class meetings on that day).
