As the first wall-to-wall Early College school in Massachusetts, New Heights Charter School of Brockton set an ambitious goal of not only giving all of its scholars the opportunity to earn at least 12 college credits, but also the opportunity to earn an Associate’s Degree from Massasoit Community College. In 2016, NHCSB opened its doors ready to prepare its scholars for college, but it was no easy feat. Next year, over 50% of their first graduating class will have earned their high school degree and an Associate’s Degree simultaneously.
