TMECHS Counseling & Student Outreach Mission and Vision Statements

Mission 

Transmountain Early College High School will provide students with the opportunity, tools and resources to earn both a STEM-focused high school diploma and a two-year Associate Degree, provided by El Paso Community College, within four years. In order to promote student success, counselors ensure all students’ social/emotional and academic needs are met. 

Vision 

ALL Transmountain Early College High School graduates will have the social/emotional and academic skills needed to successfully transition to a 4-year college. Students will be equipped to pursue their post-secondary endeavors, such as completing their bachelor’s degree and master’s degree in a shorter time period or joining the work force in STEM-related fields.

Getting in touch:

Counselors can also be contacted on Remind. Students should join their respective classes so students and administrative staff can utilize that method of communication, especially to reach students while attending classes at EPCC or UTEP. Students should download the Remind App on their cell phone with the student's first and last name so they can receive information on presentations and deadlines from the Counselors and College Readiness Coordinator.
