ECHSECHSDid you know that DPHS is an officially-designated Early College High School? This means that students at David Prouty have access to college classes that bear college credit while attending DPHS. These courses carry fully-transferrable credit that gives them a head start on college coursework which can impact both time and financial burdens!

Thanks to a generous grant from the state, we have been able to implement this program to benefit students across all grade levels as they're given opportunities that inspire them to consider college options, take field trips to college campuses, attend summer school, get college credits during summer months, and be exposed to speakers and presentations that help them realize the potential that a college-track future provides!

Ask a counselor for more information on the Early College High School program and keep your eyes open for the opportunities brought to our students by this awesome program!
