About Us

 

Wilmington Early College High School was established through a partnership between New Hanover County Schools and Cape Fear Community College to provide students with an opportunity to earn an Associate's Degree, certifications, and/or transferable college credits with their high school diploma. WECHS is a four to five year program where students engage in a rigorous academic curriculum of honors and college-level coursework to prepare them to be college and career ready. Our expectation is that all of our students will graduate with both their Associate's and their diploma, making our program truly "A Degree Above."
