Wake Early College of Health and Science

Our students are safely back in Raleigh after an amazing experience at the HOSA International Leadership Conference in Indianapolis last week!
Throughout the week, they explored the city, attended the HOSA Expo and leadership sessions, competed in individual and team events, and earned a chapter award. They also enjoyed networking opportunities and a fun Indiana Fever game.
While we did not place in the Top 10, our students competed among top qualifiers from around the world and represented our school with professionalism, resilience, and teamwork.

Its been a busy week at WECHS!

Yesterday started with our seniors and super seniors at our annual Graduate Breakfast on North Campus, and ended with celebrating our rising sophomores and juniors on the PHS campus.

It’s been a wonderful time recognizing a year of hard work, reflecting on highlights from the school year, signing yearbooks, and celebrating the colleges our students will be attending this fall. We are so proud of all they have accomplished and excited for what’s ahead!

At our Graduate Awards Ceremony, we celebrated the incredible accomplishments of our students! 🎓✨
Several students earned full-ride scholarships to Columbia University, North Carolina A&T State University, and North Carolina Central University, along with major awards from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, North Carolina State University, and others, just to name a few.

What an incredible evening celebrating 20 years of WECHS! 🎉

A heartfelt thank you to our alumni, former staff, current students, families, and community partners for coming together to honor this special milestone. Your support, dedication, and shared commitment have helped shape WECHS into the exceptional school and community it is today.

As the first early college in Wake County, WECHS has spent the past 20 years opening doors, inspiring students, and building a legacy of excellence. Tonight was a beautiful reminder that our greatest strength has always been the people who make up the WECHS family.

Thank you for being part of our journey, and for continuing to make WECHS excellent! 💙✨
