Texas Education Agency Early College High School Designation

OVERVIEW

The Skyline Early College High School maintains its mission by building a supportive school climate of openness and trust that empowers our faculty, students, staff, and community stakeholders to share decision making on how to improve teaching effectiveness, which ultimately is directly linked to impoving student success and preparing students for college as argued by Hurst and Uribe (2015).
