The Foundation supplements instructional funding for students at CHECHS, located at San Jacinto College South, who simultaneously earn a college associates degree and a high school diploma.

Clear Horizons Early College High School (CHECHS) empowers motivated students to earn both a high school diploma and an associate degree — all tuition-free — while developing the skills needed to thrive in college and beyond.

Community Investment

For the 2024–2025 school year, the Clear Creek Education Foundation proudly awarded $60,000 to support the success of CHECHS students and programs.

Why Early College Works

Early College High Schools are built on a powerful idea:
When students are challenged academically and given the opportunity to earn college credit early, they rise to the occasion.

CHECHS is specially designed to support:

• Low-income students

• First-generation college students

• English language learners

• Students underrepresented in higher education

These students excel when provided with:

• Rigorous coursework

• Strong academic support

• Real college experiences

• A clear and affordable path to higher education
