PSJA Sonia M. Sotomayor Early College High School is part of the Pharr-San Juan-Alamo Independent School District (PSJA ISD) in Pharr, Texas. As an "Early College" institution, the school is specifically designed to provide students with the opportunity to earn a high school diploma while simultaneously earning up to two years of college credit—or even an associate degree—at little to no cost. This model is intended to bridge the gap between high school and higher education, helping students gain a competitive edge for university enrollment and future career paths.

The school is named in honor of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor and operates within a district known for its emphasis on biliteracy, dual-language programs, and college readiness. Like other schools in the PSJA system, Sotomayor High School focuses on creating a supportive academic environment that encourages students from all backgrounds to pursue post-secondary education. By partnering with local institutions like South Texas College, the campus provides students with access to rigorous coursework, specialized academic advising, and a culture that prioritizes student achievement and long-term professional success.
