„ —CCECHS 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 2nd floor, and one Biology class on the 3rd. 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 a lot 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.
AVID program
The entire course of study is centered mainly around the AVID (meaning Advancement Via Individual Determination) program. AVID is a college-preparatory program designed to aid economically disadvantaged, and academically average first-generation students of both elementary and high schools into college. Originating at the high school level, the program now serves fifth grade through twelfth grade students (roughly, ages 10-18).
