STUDENT ENROLLMENT AND ADMISSION PROCESS

Describe the student enrollment and admissions process, include specific selection criteria and recruitment efforts.

HECHS recruiting efforts will focus on first-generation college students, members of families lacking financial resources for a college education, groups underrepresented in higher education, and students at risk of not completing requirements for a high school diploma.  HECHS will develop a comprehensive outreach/recruitment plan with our two Halifax County Schools middle schools to identify and prepare potential students for a successful transition to HCECHS. The foundation of the recruitment efforts will be educating middle school students, parents, and teachers about the educational opportunities offered through Halifax County Schools. The outreach/recruitment efforts will allow staff to develop relationships with middle school administrators, teachers, and guidance staff to help identify students that will benefit from the opportunities provided to them at the HCECHS. The outreach/recruitment program will also provide an opportunity for the HCECHS to meet with potential students and their parents to begin developing the personal relationships needed to ensure student success. Additionally, staff will be able to identify and recruit potential students that meet the target population as well as others to mirror the demographic of traditional high schools.  Interested students must work with their school guidance counselor to complete the HECHS application. The HECHS will utilize a rubric with the application process. Points will be allotted for applicants that meet the target demographic criteria for the school ( ie. first generation college goer). HECHS staff will meet with each student and his/her parents or guardians to gain a better understanding of the student and their family. The information obtained from the application process and family meeting will assist staff in developing a comprehensive Personalized Education Plan (PEP) and supports for each student as well as confirm the commit of the student and parent/guardian to setting and achieving high educational goals. Each year the HECHS will seek to enroll a minimum of fifty students. The school does not plan to turn away any student that has the desire and is willing to make the commitment to be successful; however, if we were to receive more applications that we could accept, a lottery process will be set up for admission purposes. Working with the staff of our two middle schools, the HCECHS team and completion of the application, we will have a clear picture of each applicant to ensure that target populations comprise our student body. Upon acceptance into the HECHS, the students will work with the early college staff to register for appropriate classes. We will also work through various media and community outlets for additional recruitment opportunities of student populations that currently reside in Halifax County, but have not been a part of our public school population. In addition, accepted students will participate in a one week camp prior to beginning their Freshman semester to ensure acclimation to the campus and personal connections as they begin the first year.

PART C – PROGRAM INFORMATION COMPREHENSIVE DESCRIPTION

Describe fully the CIHS, addressing all relevant purposes outlined in the N. C. G. S. 115C-238.50 (a,b). How will this proposed CIHS better prepare students to be college and career ready?

The Halifax Early College High School will be a public high school located on the campus of Halifax Community college and will deliver core academic course and credit requirements for a high school diploma as well as well as an Associate’s degree, two years of college transferable credit and industry/career credentials. The Halifax Early College High School will ensure that graduates will be globally competitive for work and further education. It will be the expectation that all students possess the foundation of academic and life skills that are needed to succeed in college and the workplace. The HECHS will expand high school options as the first CIHS for the Halifax County School System. This high school experience will be another option for students. Currently, some of the students that would be enrolled in Halifax County Schools are transferring to another neighboring school district to have access to an Early College experience. WIth this first CIHS in the district, Halifax County Schools can provide its own Early College, students will not need to change districts to participate in an Early College experience. Halifax County Schools students will be provided the experiences, support and opportunities to complete a North Carolina high school diploma in addition to an Associate’s degree, two years of transferable college credits or career credentials/certificates at no cost to the student, within five or fewer years of starting high school. Students will also have the opportunity to secure industry certificates/credentials as part of this innovative high school option. The HECHS will incorporate a Common Instructional Framework that encourages teaching and learning by utilizing project-based learning to provide authentic, real-work instruction in each course taken. In addition, incorporation of instructional technology will be a foundation to enhance instruction and endure students are adept at utilizing technology tools relevant to chosen program of study. College and career readiness begins when students understand that they must own and drive their career and college interets by becoming aware of the requirements and expectations necessary to pursue their interests. Exploring and gaining knowledge about their career and college options is key to students making sound secondary and post-secondary decisions that are aligned to student interests and goals. In addition, career inventories will be used to assist in selecting programs that fit their interests and skill-sets.. Each year, HECHS

will assist students with intentional activities to ensure connections to interests and requirements are met as well as an audit of program completion to ensure all students are on track and receiving adequate supports to elicit success. Halifax Early College High School will partner with the Halifax Community College and strive to afford our students with educational opportunities that promote STEM and regional needs across northeastern NC and the state of North Carolina. The Early College will promote degrees that align with our identified workforce data and focus of work-based learning experiences related to the student’s program choice. Community College courses and college transfer courses are demanding. As such, the opportunity for gaining early access to these rigorous courses will ensure the likelihood of having completers of degree programs and college transfer credits. Halifax Early College students will focus on the following program examples depending on their career choice: Associate in Arts - college transfer degree Associates in Applied Science - college transfer degree Associate in Arts - Teacher Preparation Program - 2 + 2 transferring to Elizabeth CIty State University Automotive Technology Systems Criminal Justice Technology Industrial Systems Technology Therapeutic Diagnostic (Nurse Aid) Welding Technology The identified Program choices are targeted for workforce options in our low socio-economic Tier 1 county to obtain credentials and/or college experience that give them the additional advantages needed to better prepare students beyond high school since many students remain in the area immediately after high school. Many students must work to fund their post-secondary studies and/or careers after high school without support from family because family members do not have the financial means to support the students in their college or career pursuits. Therefore, the HCECHS model is designed to increase student’s skills, credentials, and degrees in areas that are aligned to their interests, address the job forecasts and future needs of the region, and equip them to be successful in their career choices. The HECHS will offer seminar and individual supports to assist students in deciphering college-level course work, processes and procedures or get targeted assistance with assignments through scaffolding learning objectives and monitoring student progress on a frequent basis.

Academic support services will be made available to Halifax Early College students, including the tutoring center, the library, student activities, honors programs, and academic advising services. Halifax Early College students will start inquiries about additional services by connecting with their early college liaison or counselor, who may refer them to college personnel when appropriate.

How will the CIHS serve students beyond what is already available through the College Transfer pathway and/or Career Technical Education pathway of Career and College Promise? Clearly state how your proposed school is a different program.

Halifax Early College High School, in partnership with Halifax Community College, will provide students a challenging , relevant course of study and the opportunity to maximize their potential and graduate with a high school diploma, associate's degree or career credential. The HECHS will serve students in grades 9-13, and as early as 9th grade, students will begin to take college courses with some courses satisfying both high school and

For questions, please contact NCDPI at CIHS@dpi.nc.gov or Sneha Shah-Coltrane, Director, Advanced Learning at 919-807-3849. 5

college credit course requirements. All students will have access to the full course catalog and resources of Halifax Community College and other services that are available. HECHS students will have the ability to participate in course offerings that are not offered to traditional high school students or College-Career Promise students. In addition, CIHS students do not need to meet the same eligibility as regular College Career Promise students. The environment will enable students to take advantage of the "power of place" and be fully engaged in the college-going experience. The HECHS will provide small classes with intentional, individual support to encourage both academic and social success. Students will be prepared for future learning in the workplace or attend an institution of higher learning by expanding student's educational opportunities. This environment will also enable powerful relationships with staff and offer strong supports on the community college campus for success. This opportunity will afford leverage to ensure possibilities for students by better preparing them for college and career and to provide a seamless curriculum between high school, college, and provide work-based credentials for students. Graduates will have the opportunity to leave the HECHS experience with both high school and and associate's degree or two years of college transferable college credit and industry credentials over a four or five year period.

RESPONSE TO REGION’S ECONOMIC VISION

Explain how the CIHS relates to the Economic Vision Plan adopted for the economic development region where the school is located. Specifically address how the CIHS pathway will meet your local workforce needs and priorities.

Aligning workforce data to career and college promise program areas of study and community college degrees provide our students with marketable skills that meet priority workforce needs across eastern NC. Within our local region, certifications and licenses are also necessary to afford our students marketable skills that are unique to the Roanoke Valley and address the shortage of skilled employees in these specified areas. Halifax County Schools is committed to affording educational experiences for students that contribute to the economic revitalization of our immediate Halifax County community, neighboring communities to include Northampton, Nash, Edgecombe and Warren counties, and the Turning Points Workforce Development Board Region. Thus, within the early college it is also important to offer students career and college readiness choices that align to workforce data areas specific to our regional needs. As indicated by the Vision Plan Strategies for Workforce, Education, and Training for Northeastern NC, healthcare, high value-added agriculture, recreation and tourism, life sciences, marine trades and wood products and furniture are industry cluster targets for Halifax County (NC Commission on Workforce Development, 2007). With the assistance of the NC Department of Commerce’s Labor and Economic Analysis Division (LEAD) we viewed the economic outlook for the Turning Point Workforce Development Board Region from 2014 through 2024. (The Turning Point Workforce Development Board includes Halifax, Northampton, Edgecombe, Nash and Wilson counties.) Northampton County Schools and Halifax Community College are both located in the Turning Point Region. Additionally, Halifax County Schools, Halifax Community College and the Turning Point Workforce Development Board are all active members of the Northeastern Pathways to Prosperity Leadership Council. The regional Northeast Partnership’s major area of concentration, currently, is establishment of Advanced Manufacturing Pathways. Halifax Community College’s major area of concentration is Industrial Systems Technology and Welding Technology. HCC will also include Photovoltiac (Solar) Technology as an integral part of the Industrial Systems Technology career pathways. Of particular note; based on EMSI’s occupational projection data, about 31% of projected job openings in the Turning Point Region from 2014 to 2024 will require a bachelor’s degree or higher. Please note; we are including Associate of Arts programs, Associate of Science programs out of which a student can transfer to a four year school and receive a bachelor’s degree. We currently have an existing articulation agreement with East Carolina University, Elizabeth City State University. Examples of needed bachelor degree programs include nursing, teachers, business and retail management.

Of those, approximately 1,500 jobs will be in the Halifax County population region. Nearly 700 new job positions will need to be filled with capable employees. Those enrolled in the Industrial Systems curriculum will be required to take welding courses which will increase the student’s employability. Employment opportunities for those with Welding skills will be relatively robust. Specifically, employment for Welding, Soldering, Cutters, and Brazers is projected to increase by 27% (or 55 jobs) from 2014-2024. Employment in Machine Setters, Operators and Tenders is projected to grow 12% (or 8 jobs) between 2014-2024. (Source EMSI). Businesses that could utilize the skills of those trained include: Kapstone Kraft Paper Company, Enviva Wood Pellets, PCB Piezotronics, Safelite Glass. Lowe’s Distribution Center, Klausner Lumber Company, West Frazier Lumber, Georgia Pacific (Conway and Skippers Va.), Weldon Steel, Kennametal, and Cummins Engine (Rocky Mount). Schools that could benefit are Northampton County Schools, Roanoke Rapids Graded Schools, Weldon City Schools, and Halifax County Schools. Institutions of Higher Learning that could benefit are Halifax Community College, Nash Community College, Chowan College, East Carolina University, and Elizabeth City State. According to the EMSI report, employment in Teacher Occupations (all types) in the region is projected to grow. Notable growth areas include: Special Education Teachers (50% increase) Elementary School Teachers (10% increase or 129 jobs), Middle School Teachers, except CTE Teachers (12% increase or 47 jobs), Secondary School Teachers (7% increase or 41 jobs), Postsecondary Teachers (18% increase or 157 jobs), Self-Enrichment Education teachers (58% increase or 41 jobs and All Other Teachers and Instructors (29% or 36 jobs). The teacher turnover rates for Northampton the past two years were 28.4% and 33.5% respectively. Those enrolled in the 2+ 2 program will position themselves to join the teaching workforce to meet shortages in all school districts in the Northeast region.
