The Early College High School program at Austin High School includes three options. Students can earn an associate degree in general studies from Ivy Tech via our Academy program, the Statewide Transfer General Education Core (STGEC), or technical certificates of 15+ dual credit hours.
ECHS Parent Information Night
On Tuesday, March 6th we held our ECHS Parent Information Night to present an overview of our early college options, share course information, and answer questions. Approximately 60 parents, students, and family members attended this informational session.

Changes for the 2018-2019 School Year
Ivy Tech recently notified us that they are removing a class from the requirements to earn an associate degree in general studies. In response to this change, we are discussing various options for incoming juniors in the fall. Our current plan is to coordinate internship-type experiences for the juniors. We will share more details regarding this update as we finalize our plans.
