Application & Lottery Process
Any current Sheldon ISD 8th grade student may apply for Sheldon Early College High School for the 2025 - 2026 school year. Students are selected via a lottery. Students do not have to currently be enrolled in pre-AP classes. Please note, most ECHS classes will be pre-AP, AP, or college level courses. ECHS provides many avenues for support for students to transition into the ECHS environment. The number 1 predictor of success in ECHS is the student's level of academic dedication!

January 11, 2025: Parent Information Night, 6:30 p.m. in the KHS Performance Arts Center (PAC)
