Recruitment and Selection of Students. To secure the broadest applicant pool possible, YHSECA will recruit qualified eighth grade students no later than January of each year. Since the Ysleta ISD is an open enrollment district, there are no geographic limitations for YHSECA admission, although priority will be provided students living in the Y ISD. A recruitment team comprised of the YHSECA Principal and on-site YHSECA staff will spearhead this effort. The recruiting process will include the following activities:
A. Creation of a YHSECA web site that provides recruitment and admission information with links to the EPCC homepage, EPCC Library homepage, and the EPCC Dual Credit/ECHS Program homepage;
B. Distribution of recruitment/admission packets to middle school students in the school district;
C. Meetings with middle school counselors to introduce and explain the concept of the ECHS;
D. Student meetings at all middle school campuses explaining the opportunities and commitment required of YHSECA students;
E. Conduct a community YHSECA informational meeting for interested students/parents;
F. Presentation of recruitment and admission information in a bilingual mode;
G. The content of any publication bearing both names (EPCC and YHSECA) will be jointly approved and shall follow EPCC and YISD procedures. Admission to YHSECA will be open to a maximum of 125 students each year served by the Y ISD. This will be known as a cohort. Criteria for admission to the YHSECA will allow 8th grade students to apply each year for the new cohort and enter YHSECA as 9th graders. The majority of the students accepted to the YHSECA will be those who are at risk of dropping out of high school or who wish to accelerate completion of the high school program; including first-generation college-goers, low-income students, and English language learners. In special circumstances, additional 9th graders, who meet the criteria for YHSECA, will be allowed to apply for any available openings in the cohort not to go over the maximum of 125 students. These students will be integrated into the existing cohort.
