Everyone Committed to Student Success
The Georgia Department of Education, in conjunction with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, operates a statewide, 24-hour, toll-free, school safety hotline. The hotline was established in 1998 and gives students, teachers, parents, and others a way to report threats and other school crimes both easily and anonymously.
Georgia's 24-hour school safety hotline number is:
1-877-SAY-STOP (1-877-729-7867).

At Early County High School, we are proud to foster a positive and inclusive environment where students feel safe, valued, and inspired to succeed. Through our Capturing Kids’ Hearts program, we intentionally build strong relationships between students and staff, creating a climate of trust, empathy, and mutual respect. Our commitment to connection goes beyond the classroom! We offer more than 20 extracurricular clubs and athletic teams that encourage students to explore their interests, develop leadership skills, and build lasting friendships. Every student at ECHS has the opportunity to be part of something meaningful, because belonging is not just a goal, it’s who we are.

ECHS equips every student with the skills and credentials for success beyond graduation, whether in college, technical programs, or the workforce.
Early County High School’s CTAE program is not only a standout in southwest Georgia, but it is one of the strongest in the state. With a remarkable 97.8% graduation rate among CTAE concentrators, our students consistently earn state and regional recognition for their achievements. We're awarded hundreds of thousands in grants from sources such as the Georgia DOE and GA AIM initiatives. These grants help to provide cutting-edge equipment which leads to industry certifications, giving students real-world skills and career readiness.
For college-bound students, ECHS offers a variety of dual enrollment courses, advanced classes, and college-level experiences that challenge and prepare students for life after high school. Our academic programs emphasize critical thinking, strong communication, and real-world application; ensuring students are not only eligible for postsecondary opportunities, but confident and ready to succeed in them.
