Haverhill High School Early College
Early college programs enable high school students to take FREE college courses that offer credit toward a high school diploma and a college degree. This model meets the needs of historically underserved students by leveraging the assets of our state’s higher education system. These programs ultimately reduce the time and cost of degree completion while giving young people the confidence to succeed in college.
As of September 2020, there have been over 200 Hillies who earned free college credits while enrolled in Early College.
Early College Promise
