It’s that time of year! Time for your 8th grade
students to set their high school plans in action! Attached is the application
for the Early College program at Robert E. Lee High School. Don’t forget to include
sharing with your 7th and 6th grade students as some of
the eligibility requirements mean planning early. For examples, 7th
grade State Reading scores are considered for eligibility and students must
complete Algebra 1 by the end of 8th grade. Thank you in advance for
sharing! Send questions my way, if needed.
What is Early College?
A unique opportunity for students to earn their AA degree
while enrolled in high school. Yes, students earn their high school diploma and
AA degree at the same time! The program is free for students (tuition and books
covered), but does entail a high level of academic work. For students who love
to learn, are eager to take rigorous courses, and want to get a jump on college
– this is the program for them! Our Early College program is a separate
application process from School Choice. Students must complete and submit the
attached application to REL by February 16th to be considered for
enrollment. Applications received after the deadline will only be reviewed if
there are seats available.
What can Robert E Lee offer students?
Besides the Early College program, we have a SEAM Magnet
program (applications available through School Choice) and the REL LEEders
program (students must live in Lee’s neighborhood to participate in this
program). We also have phenomenal Band, Chorus, ROTC, Culinary, Logistics,
Computer, and athletic programs. Check us out! We are destined to LEEd!
