Best school my son ever attended. He allready earned his associates degree last year and will be graduating this year from high school. He is allready attending UTEP going towards his degree in Mechanical Engeneering. Teachers and Administrators are the best. They help my son in everything he needed to accomplish his goals. Im very proud of him and the school. Mission Early College is the best. Close Quote
