Beacons of Hope

Ammons admits that there is some pressure because early college high school is a new concept and many "eyes will be watching" to see how NCCU will fare as a model for the innovative approach to college preparation. But with NCCU's strong partnerships and academic strength, Ammons says NCCU is up to the task. He also believes strongly in SECME's ability to make the initiative a success.

"I think it is in the fabric of SECME to take this risk and to be successful. The organization is dedicated and committed to the concept of high school reform," Ammons says. "The guidance they are giving these eight programs will go a long way in ensuring that these programs will be those beacons of hope for students of all academic levels as they aspire to a college education."
