[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you do early college are you still technically a student at your local school?  As in, can you play on the HS athletic teams?[/quote]
Yes. You are still enrolled at your local HS and can play sports, go to events (home coming, prom) and still participate in your HS graduation ceremony. You still also go back to your HS for testing (PSAT, SAT), yearbook photos, and other stray things like that. [b]It requires some communication with your counselor and grade level administration[/b] - I just paid close attention to the weekly principal's message and reached out if it seemed like something needed attention.[/quote]

+1 High school counselor here. I've had several kids do EC and absolutely love it. However, a common complaint I hear from my students is that they feel disconnected from events happening in our school building (e.g. social events, graduation required state testing, post-secondary planning lessons and meetings, etc.) I reach out to my EC students about essentials, like required testing dates, but there is only so much I'm able to follow up with kids who aren't on campus and aren't checking their emails. My students who stay engaged with school announcements have a much better experience and often come back to the building for events. They are also more likely to remain enrolled in EC and feel satisfied with the program. [/quote]
