2022 9th Grade Academy

9th Grade Academy will be held in person at Northeast Early College Tuesday, August 9th and August 10th from 8.30am-2pm. Historically, over 90% of incoming 9th graders at NEC choose to attend 9th Grade Academy. This is a great opportunity for students to begin building relationships with staff and peers, get more comfortable navigating the building and generally feel more prepared to succeed in high school as part of the Northeast Early College Wolfpack!  Studies show students who participate in Ninth Grade Academy improve their academic performance, have a stronger attachment to their high school and their peer groups, and are more likely to graduate from high school.  

During the Ninth Grade Academy, students will:

• Learn ways to succeed in high school, such as understanding graduation requirements and the importance of a GPA and reading transcripts.
• Meet school staff and other NEC Wolfpack students.
• Earn 2.5 elective credits for completing the NGA, and receive incentives and a small backpack full of school materials.
• Receive free morning snacks, lunch, and free RTD coupons for those who need transportation.
• Participate in engaging activities designed specifically for NEC students.
