We invite prospective students and their parents to our Recruitment Nights 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.
Application packets for the Early College High School program will be available at each middle school on the day of their scheduled assembly. After applications are collected, students will be contacted to participate in an interview with an Early College staff member.
Applications are due to middle school counselors by March 4th, 2025.
NOTE: A completed application includes both the digital application and the physical packet. To complete the digital components, the student will need to be logged in to his/her LCPS email account (@students.lcpsnc.org).
If a LCPS email account is not available, the applicant must use a GMail account.

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.
