Early College Program Overview

The Early College Program is a dual enrollment program, which means students are enrolled in classes that satisfy both high school and college graduation requirements. Students will attend classes on the Meramec Campus of St. Louis Community College and are still allowed to participate in their high schools’ extra-curricular activities. The 2-year program begins with a junior cohort group and continues through to the end of students’ senior year.  

The ultimate goal of the Early College Program is for students to graduate with a high school diploma as well as an Associate’s Degree - General Transfer from St. Louis Community College STLCC (60 hours).  While in college, students will gain access to all the resources provided through STLCC.  Tuition, fees and books are covered by MRH, but transportation expenses are the students’ responsibility.  In order to be successful in the program, all students must maintain a C or better GPA in all classes and will receive on-going support from the MRH Early College liaison. Current interested 10th graders should contact their counselor for more information.
