Early College High School Pathway Scholarship
ECHS Pathway students receive a one-year, full tuition scholarship to Quincy College
At a symposium celebrating the successful first year of the Early College High School (ECHS) Pathway program – an innovative partnership between Quincy College and Quincy Public Schools – President Dr. Richard DeCristofaro presented each of the 40 high school seniors currently enrolled in the program with a one-year, full-tuition scholarship to Quincy College.
ECHS, a first-of-its-kind program in this region, is designed for the city’s high school students who may not actively be considering college. It serves about 150 Quincy High and North Quincy High School students in grades 10 through 12 who tend to be first-generation, from low-income families, are English language learners, and/or have disabilities. Those enrolled in the program earn college credit by taking a sequence of college courses taught by Quincy Public Schools instructors as a way to provide students the opportunity to experience post-secondary education while still in high school. ECHS Pathway courses are aligned with Quincy College courses, and College faculty collaborates with the high school instructors to ensure that the courses are delivered as a college course would be.
Quincy Public School students celebrate at the Early College High School (ECHS) Pathway Symposium
“Any opportunity to expose our high school students to the benefits of a college education represents a win for our entire community,” said Dr. DeCristofaro. “Thanks to the generous support of the State Street Foundation, ECHS Pathway has brought Quincy College and Quincy Public Schools together to offer participating students a combination of academic and non-academic support, ongoing guidance, and college readiness techniques that are essential to their future success. We look forward to welcoming many of this year’s ECHS Pathway seniors as first-year Quincy College students in the fall.”
State Street Foundation
Initial ECHS Pathway funding came in the form of a significant grant from the State Street Foundation, support which includes the cost of all student expenses as well as two new high school guidance counselors and two Quincy College “transition coaches” with responsibility for program implementation and oversight.
“The State Street Foundation is thrilled to provide the opportunity for so many students to see themselves as college-ready and college-bound,” said Joe McGrail, President of the State Street Foundation. “We understand and value the incredible potential of the Early College High School Pathway and the opportunities that it provides to Quincy Public Schools’ students.”
Quincy High School College Transition Coach Eli Stewart shares a round moment with students.
Granite Telecommunications, HarborOne Bank and the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education have contributed additional financial support to the program.
“I am extremely proud of Quincy’s Early College High School Pathway program, which provides our high school students with the incredible opportunity to expand their academic horizons by earning up to 22 Quincy College credits prior to graduating high school,” said Kevin Mulvey, JD, Superintendent of Quincy Public Schools. “Special thanks to Quincy College, a lead partner of the Quincy School-Community Partnership, for providing this educational opportunity.”
As part of the collaborative celebration symposium, held at the Boston Marriott Quincy, current ECHS Pathway students participated in a series of grade-specific breakout sessions featuring interactive discussions between students and professional staff; later, ECHS Pathway teachers attended their own separate breakout session focused on evaluating key elements of the program’s first year.
