Wilmington Early College High School
Wilmington Early College High School was established through a partnership between New Hanover County Schools and Cape Fear Community College to provide students with an opportunity to earn an Associate's Degree along with their high school diploma. WECHS is a four to five year program where students engage in a rigorous academic curriculum of honors and college-level coursework. Our expectation is that all of our students will graduate with both their Associate's and their diploma, making our program truly "A Degree Above." The school is located on the North campus of Cape Fear Community College.

Empowering students to pursue their passions. Encouraging students to exhibit ethical behavior in and out of the classroom. Aiding students in the development of effective communication and critical thinking skills
