Quincy's Early College High School (ECHS) Pathway is a program that allows North Quincy High students to earn college credit while they're still in high school. The program is a partnership between North Quincy High School and Quincy College, and it is open to NQHS students on an application basis.

Students in the program enroll in ECHS Pathway courses at NQHS during their sophomore, junior, and senior years of high school. Upon completion of each course, students will be able to earn college credit at no charge to the student. In addition to the ECHS Pathway coursework, all ECHS Pathway students will participate in academic and non-academic support opportunities focused on post-secondary success.

The ECHS Pathway is a great way to get a head start on post-secondary plans; it may also help save money on tuition, as ECHS credits may be transferred to a four-year college or university.
