FREE STUDENT-PARENT WEBINAR: Early College Opportunities
2025-11-20 19:00 - 20:00 | Zoom
We will have an Early College Information Session this Thursday at 7pm for parents and students. The session will feature Mamie Houston, the Early College Liaison for Crossroads. Mamie will share information about all 3 “Early College” High Schools in Iredell County.

What is the Early College program?
-The Early Colleges are specialized high schools where students complete both their high school diploma and Associate’s degree during their high school years. Students complete an honors-level curriculum in a smaller learning environment. All college-level courses are offered in partnership with Mitchell. There are 3 Early Colleges in Iredell County: ASEC, CCTL, and Crossroads.

Who can apply for the Early Colleges?
-Students typically apply during their 8th grade year. Ideal students aren’t required to have straight A’s, but need to have a strong work ethic. Any student living within Iredell County can apply (not just Iredell-Statesville Schools students).

Students and parents are invited to the information session this Thursday to learn more about the Early College programs and get their questions answered. This session will be especially relevant for families with 8th graders who are considering applying.
