Principal's Message

The faculty and staff of Hector J. Garcia Early College are excited to welcome students to the 2025–2026 school year. This coming year marks the 20th anniversary since the school opened its doors in August 2006. Over the past two decades, the dedication of our students, faculty, campus/district staff, and the support of our parents and guardians have earned Garcia Early College numerous prestigious accolades. These include recognition by Newsweek as one of the top-performing high schools at the local, state, and national levels, as well as two National Blue Ribbon School honors in 2017 and 2023. As we celebrate this milestone, we remain committed to fostering academic excellence, offering guidance and support, and creating a positive, engaging learning environment for all students.
