Early College
The Early College Worcester Program (ECW) is a secondary/post-secondary partnership involving Worcester Public Schools (WPS), Quinsigamond Community College (QCC), and Worcester State University (WSU).
This program enables high school students to participate in college and career readiness activities and college credit course offerings. The activities and courses are offered at the high school or on the QCC or WSU campuses. Students earn college and high school credits at the same time and can graduate from high school with a high school diploma and at least 12 college credits.
Early College at Doherty
12 students in the class of 2021 were recognized for completing 12 or more college credits through the Early College Worcester.
One of these students earned 21 college credits through the Early College Worcester program, all while serving as Doherty’s student representative at the School Committee, a position to which she devoted much time and effort.
