• Our Mission

    The mission at MacUNITED Early College High School is to provide an innovative educational experience that allows students to earn up to 60 hours of college credit and an Associate of Arts Degree while in high school. Students will be empowered to apply their knowledge through career-based learning and industry experiences in the high-demand fields of education and business.

  • Our Goals 

    At MacUNITED, our goals are to:

    • Ensure smooth coordination between MacUNITED ECHS, San Antonio College (SAC), and NEISD to provide a cohesive academic experience for students.
    • Have students achieve an associate degree or up to 60 college credits from SAC, while graduating with an NEISD diploma.
    • Offer support services in academic advising, counseling, and tutoring to assist students in obtaining dual credits.
    • Develop partnerships with local organizations and higher education institutions to enhance student learning and provide real-world experiences.
    • Evaluate program effectiveness regularly through data analysis and feedback to ensure ongoing enhancement and success of MacUNITED ECHS.

  • Our Innovative Curriculum

    MacUNITED has established an invaluable partnership with San Antonio College that provides students with an innovative early college high school. This distinguished collaboration allows ambitious high school students to simultaneously earn their high school diploma alongside an accredited Associate of Arts degree in Education or with an emphasis in Business.

    In addition to dual credit courses, students in both pathways have advanced learning. Students enrolled in the teaching pathway can intern with local NEISD elementary schools during their junior and senior years. Available through Oak Grove and Regency Place Elementary, students can apply what they learn about lesson planning and the teaching process by performing mini-lessons to elementary classes. Students focused on the business pathway will further their education with mentorships, internships, and guest lectures provided by local businesses. The connections between MacUNITED and businesses give students hand-on experience and career insight, preparing them for the professional workforce. Besides these options, students can also attend a business-focused college & career fair.

     

  • Our Vision

    MacUNITED Early College High School is dedicated to making the high school experience exciting and rewarding while supporting the post-secondary success of our students. The vision is to enable students to graduate with a high school diploma and earn an associate’s degree within four years. Together, our ECHS and students will open doors to future opportunities and help them attain their academic and career goals.

    Our History 

    Reincarnated from the Mac Up program, the 2024-2025 school year is the inaugural year for MacUNITED. Our program has been rebranded as an Early College High School after meeting state credentials and establishing a partnership with San Antonio College through Alamo Colleges. MacUNITED allows students the opportunity to graduate with either an associate's degree or up to 60 hours of college credit while receiving a high school diploma.
