We will accomplish this by delivering rigorous curriculum, providing appropriate interventions, and through clear communication of high standards of behavior and academic achievement.

Our Students

Many of the students who will attend CECA will be economically disadvantaged and first from their families to attend college. Some will be at-risk students with a history of limited academic success while others will be gifted and talented and on the A Honor Roll. The CECA student body will be a heterogeneous group comprised of young men and women with varied backgrounds, experiences, talents, skills and aspirations. However, all CECA students will have and demonstrate the motivation, commitment, determination and work ethic needed to be successful in college.
