Mission Statement

= FSU =
CCECHS is located inside the Butler Building: School of Education of the Fayetteville State University campus. Most activity happens on the first floor, though two Social studies classes take place on the 2^nd floor, and one Biology class on the 3^rd. The Butler Building also houses the offices of some of the College Professors that work on FSU campus
=ECHS Curriculum=
CCECHS, being an Early College, has a unique Curriculum, in that there are honor's level HS classes and then normal-level college classes. It is alot of work for sure, but the course is not meant to be easy, that's for sure.

As a freshman the student is to take only HS classes: English I+II, Earth Science, Español I, AVID I, Algebra I/Geometry. Then at the sophomore level, the student is to take: English III, AVID II, Español II, Biology, Geometry/Algebra II/Advanced Functions, and two pre-assigned college-grade classes. At Junior and senior years [their are no seniors as of yet] the student will take more college classes, some of them electable, and through the entire course the student will take ascending AVID classes.
=Faculty=
The Faculty of CCECHS is small, because the school is small, with only three classes as of yet, freshman, sophomores, and juniors.
