This past spring, nearly 30 Rockwood School District students earned their high school diploma and associate degree from St. Louis Community College (STLCC) by completing the Early College Partnership (ECP).

The ECP is a full-immersion, early entrance to college program located on the campuses of STLCC. Students attend the ECP for two years, replacing the junior and senior years of traditional high school. Congratulations to our ECP graduates!
