The Golden Triangle Early College High School on East Mississippi Community College’s Golden Triangle campus is accepting applications from eighth grade students in Clay and Noxubee counties who are interested in attending the high school beginning their ninth-grade year.
Eighth grade students and their parents who would like more information about GTECHS are encouraged to attend one of three remaining information nights. The first information night took place the night of Jan. 24 for rising ninth grade students from the West Point Consolidated School District. Another information night for those students and their parents is planned for Feb. 1.
There will be two information nights for eighth grade students in the Noxubee County School District on Feb. 10 and Feb. 21. All three of the remaining information nights begin at 6 p.m. in the Lyceum Auditorium on EMCC’s Golden Triangle campus.
GTECHS staff and students will be on hand to provide information about the school.
The deadline for the eighth graders to apply to attend GTECHS is March 4, 2022. Applications can be picked up at one of the Information Nights or from the students’ home school Guidance Office. Applications are also available online at www.eastms.edu under the “Programs” and “Early College High School” tabs.
“The information nights are a great way for students and their families to get a feel for what we have to offer,” Savely said. “Many of our students, for whatever reason, are eager to pursue their high school experience in a non-traditional environment. We would encourage those students who feel like they may be interested in learning more to come out for one of our information sessions.”
"East Mississippi Community College has been an incredible launching pad for my future! I'm so grateful for the knowledge and experiences I've gained here!"
“I chose EMCC because it gave me the best opportunities coming out of high school. I got plenty of scholarships because the school offered so many. An Education is a very powerful tool.”
"EMCC isn't just a place to learn, it's home. Passionate instructors around every corner offered an opportunity to grow. Remember - there's a whole community invested in your success."
"At first no one was really concerned about me going to college. When I decided to go on my own it put a lot of pressure on me because I'm the first one in my family to go to college. This idea made it all the more reason for me to succeed."
"East Mississippi Community College has provided an exceptional foundation for my academic and personal growth. The professors' dedication has fostered my development into a stronger student. EMCC offered numerous opportunities for me to excel, both in academics and extracurricular activities. Here, I've built incredible friendships that will undoubtedly last a lifetime. The knowledge I gained and the memories I made at EMCC will forever be a part of me when I embark on my journey to a four-year college."
