Become a Phoenix!
We invite prospective students and their parents to our Recruitment Nights in early 2025 in the Administration Building Auditorium, on the campus of Lenoir Community College.
During the Spring semester, Early College staff will visit each middle school to provide information about our program to potential students.
There will be Parent Nights for Lenoir County Early College High School scheduled within the Spring semester as well.
Applications for the Early College High School program will be available at each middle school on the day of their scheduled assembly. A file of the application can also be found on our website. After applications are collected, students will be contacted to participate in an interview with an Early College staff member.
We are looking for students who have the following characteristics:
- Hardworking
- Motivated
- Desire to obtain education beyond high school
- Works well with others
- Open to new experiences and people
- Ready for something different
- Positive attitude
Lenoir County Early College High School is a unique environment that gives Lenoir County students an awesome opportunity. Students must apply in 8th grade and can only enter as 9th graders at the beginning of our school year.
Our students' academic levels are very diverse. Grades and test scores play a role in our decision-making, but they are not the only factors. We look at attendance, teacher recommendations, writing samples and demographics. We do our best to reflect the population of Lenoir County with a focus on 1st generation college goers.
The application process:
-- Applications will be provided to middle school counselors by March.
