Splendora Early College High School

Splendora High School has earned a TEA Designation with Distinction in all three categories—access, attainment, and achievement—as an Early College High School. Through our innovative school-within-a-school model, students have the opportunity to take advanced academic courses with the goal of becoming core complete (42 college credit hours). Many students go even further, graduating with an Associate’s Degree (60 college hours) while still enjoying the full high school experience.

Mission Statement

Early College students will work to achieve excellence in an environment where perseverance, adaptability, integrity, and reflection are cultivated and valued. Splendora Early College High School prides itself on building a strong support system for students by utilizing the collaboration of the right people, using the right things, in the right way, with the right resources, and forming the right relationships.
