SAVANNAH EARLY COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL

Savannah Early College High School is a public high school that is part of the Savannah-Chatham County school district, located in Savannah, GA with about 225 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 13 teachers, Savannah Early College High School has a student/teacher ratio of about 17:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Savannah Early College High School (SECHS), located at 400 Pennsylvania Ave in Savannah, Georgia, is a specialized educational institution within the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System. Designed as an innovative partnership between the school district and Georgia Southern University, the school operates on the "early college" model. This framework allows students to pursue a rigorous high school curriculum while simultaneously earning transferable college credits, often enabling them to graduate with both a high school diploma and an Associate degree or significant college course credit at no cost to their families.

The school is characterized by its small, supportive learning environment, which emphasizes academic excellence, college readiness, and personal development. By integrating secondary and post-secondary education, SECHS aims to bridge the gap between high school and higher education, particularly for students who might be the first in their families to attend college. The program is intentionally designed to foster a culture of ambition and responsibility, preparing students for the academic demands of university life while providing them with the necessary mentorship and resources to succeed in their future professional careers.
