Collegiate High School (CHS) is an early college high school for Galveston County students who remain enrolled in their local high school, but complete their school day on the college campus. CHS offers rigorous academic instruction, career guidance, academic counseling, and work-based learning opportunities. By optimizing dual credit opportunities, students are able to complete high school graduation and associate degree requirements simultaneously.

All Galveston County juniors and seniors are invited to apply to CHS. Students and parents should strongly consider that students entering this program will be considered college students and expected to act accordingly. High school procedures will not be followed in the college classes and college instructors follow their own grading and attendance procedures. Progress reports and other parent notifications will not be sent home from college classes. Students must be mature enough to motivate themselves to be successful.

**Funding for this program is provided, in part, by a five-year, $800,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Education. This covers approximately one-third of the operating costs of the school.
