School Overview

Edgecombe Early College High (EECH), located in Tarboro, North Carolina, is a specialized educational institution operating in partnership with Edgecombe Community College. As an "early college" model, the school is designed to provide students with a rigorous academic environment that integrates high school curriculum with college-level coursework. The primary mission of the school is to offer students the opportunity to earn a high school diploma while simultaneously completing up to two years of transferable college credit—or an associate degree—tuition-free.

The school is characterized by its small, supportive community, which focuses on preparing students for post-secondary success through a blend of academic challenge and personalized guidance. By immersing students in a collegiate setting, EECH aims to bridge the gap between secondary and higher education, fostering independence and critical thinking skills. It serves as a vital resource for families in the Edgecombe County Public Schools district who are seeking an accelerated path toward college degrees and professional development.

It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
