MISSION  

 

To increase college and career readiness by providing lower-income youth, first-generation college goers, English language learners, students of color, and other under served populations in higher education with accelerated learning opportunities and Early College classes — at no cost to the student.

 

GOAL

 

In concert with the Jobs for the Future (the nationally-recognized umbrella organization for the Early College High School Initiative), the University of Hawaii System, the Department of Education and the State of Hawaii 55 by 25 goal, the primary goal of the Waipahu High School Early College program is to afford lower-income youth, first-generation college goers, English language learners, students of color, and other under served populations in higher education the opportunity to simultaneously earn a high school diploma and an Associate’s degree or up to two years of credit toward a Bachelor’s degree.
