PRINCIPAL'S POINTS
Lee Early College High School (LEC) is an academically advanced public high school located on the campus of Central Carolina Community College. Students who apply, and are accepted, have the opportunity to complete an Associate of Arts (AA), Associate of Science (AS), or Applied Associate of Science (AAS) degree by the time they graduate from high school. During their time at LEC, students will take a blend of high school and dual enrollment college courses that will allow them to earn both a high school diploma and a two year college degree.
Students who attend LEC will be provided with a challenging educational environment. Each student is provided an education that is personalized to meet their needs and help them achieve their goals. A strong guidance and academic support program is in place to assist students. All of our students are required to meet the standard testing requirements / curriculum as any North Carolina high school student. In addition to this standard all of our students are expected to graduate with a college grade point average that will allow them to transfer to a four year university.
The entire LEC staff is focused and dedicated to the success of our students. Each staff member has received training in the North Carolina New Schools Initiative concept, receives additional training each year, and works individually with each student assigned to them. In return, we expect our students to:
- Academic excellence. Maintain a minimum of a 3.0 grade point average;
- Take advantage of tutoring scheduled during the day and after school;
- Attend classes to be eligible for promotion;
- Be self disciplined;
- Follow all LEC and CCCC rules and regulations.
In return your child will receive an education that will help them become:
- Collaborative critical thinkers;
- Effective communicators;
- Lifelong learners;
- Responsible citizens;
- Scholars;
- Technology proficient.
I encourage you to be actively engaged with our school and your child’s education. Please feel free to email me at rbiehl@cccc.edu.
