Home of the Warriors

At Whale Branch Early College High School, students can earn high school diplomas and, at the same time – for free – earn two-year college associate’s degrees.  We are a satellite campus of the Technical College of the Lowcountry, and one out of three seniors completes TCL college classes and earns college credits. 

Whale Branch boasts outstanding students, a dedicated and hard-working staff, and a supportive community.  We also have a wide variety of extracurricular and athletics opportunities that appeal to our student’s diverse interests.

  • Our Mission is to develop our community of learners into responsible, college and career-ready citizens through diverse curricula and work-based learning experiences that foster creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and communication.
  • Our Vision is to be a high-performing school that provides a safe environment where all students have the opportunity to excel.
  • Our Core Beliefs 

        - Everyone can be a leader

         - Everyone has genius

         - Change starts with me

         - Educators empower students to lead their own learning 

         - Develop the whole person

We are Proud, We are Warriors, and We are on the Path of Excellence!
