Price Middle College also has the distinction and recognition of being the first Early College located on a historically black college or university.

Hollis F.

Students will have full academic schedules consisting of high school and college courses. It is a “school of opportunities” for students who would like to take advantage of a dual enrollment program in a small nurturing academic environment. Financial and other barriers to college are removed.
