GateWay Early College High School
About
We are committed to providing students with an opportunity to earn a high
school diploma and an Associate’s degree, enough college credits to enter a
4 year university as a junior, or a Certificate of Completion in an
occupational area.
History
GateWay Community High School was established on campus in 1995. In 2004,
the Early College component was added to the high school, the first of its
kind in Phoenix, serving as a a new kind of learning institution for
underserved urban high school students. This is a special place that
provides the rigor of college-level work in high school along with critical
academic support from a dedicated and caring staff.
Early College Difference
GateWay ECHS is the opportunity of a lifetime for many Valley students. Our students graduate
better prepared for post-secondary education without remediation and/or the
workplace with marketable skills.
Our work begins with the simple recognition that the quality of the
interpersonal relationship between a student and a teacher is a powerful
factor in achievement. Students walk down the halls and feel comfortable
because everyone involved with the schools knows their names and families.
Learning about our students, teaching and mentoring is a large testament
to our success. The rigor and intellectual challenge of required coursework
like Personal Finance, Public Speaking and Service Learning serves to
enhance the lives of our students beyond the classroom.
