CCEMC Mission StatementThe mission of the California Coalition of Early & Middle

Colleges (CCEMC) is to establish and document best practices, develop and sustain supportive environments that strengthen K-12 and college partnerships in which

students graduate college and career ready by accumulating substantial college units concurrently with high school graduation credits. In collaboration with our partner colleges, the California Department of Education

and the California Community College’s Chancellor’s Office, CCEMC will collect data that substantiates the early and middle college initiative, publicizes schools’

work and successes, and keeps the educational community informed of laws, California Education Code, and statutes

that impact the early and middle college initiative.
