We leave SFHS and turn our sails towards an alternative type of institution with a innovative type of curriculum. Early College Opportunities High School (ECO) provides students with an academically rigorous educational experience that offers dual credit offerings with Santa Fe Community College, the Institute of American Indian Arts and San Juan College. Dual credit courses allow high school students to earn college credits while simultaneously earning high school credits.
ECO is open to students who are motivated to engage in fast-paced, non-traditional learning experiences leading to increased college and career opportunities in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics)-related fields. 94% of ECO students are enrolled in Career Technical Education (CTE) courses. These courses include:
--Art, Design, & Architecture
--Computer Science
--Greenhouse
--Construction
--Welding (students can learn and pass the American Welding Society certification in shielded metal arc welding)
--Auto & Motorcycle Tech
--Auto Collision
In addition, ECO offers some of the most unique extracurriculars across the district, which are:
--Go-Kart Club
--Climbing Club
--SEMA Jeep Build
This is an incredible opportunity for Santa Fe students looking for a variation in their academics that may suit their direct passion. ECO invites you to schedule a visit and shadow a student to see if this is the environment for you!
