Abstract	In 2005, when the Canton City Schools (CCS), Stark State College (SSC), the Canton Professional Educators Association (CPEA) and the Stark Education Partnership (SEP) came together to establish Canton's Early College High School (CECHS), the percentage of the city's young adults with some college or an Associate Degree was 33%. The goal of CECHS was to allow students an opportunity to earn both a diploma and an Associate Degree during their high school career. In 2005 with only 12.5% of its adults (today it is 13.2%) with a Bachelor's Degree or higher and 78% of its students in poverty, Canton, Ohio's poorest neighborhoods needed a compelling example that college is possible. From the onset, CECHS was envisioned not just as a school, but as a culture-shifting community "proof-point" that impoverished inner city students can be successful with college-level work. This report discusses the graduating class of 2013 and provides key indicators of success for students, such as: graduating high school on time; graduating with college credit; and graduating with an associate degree. The report discusses results beyond early college high school, as well as the value of CECHS. (ERIC).
