The Rutherford Early College High School (REaCH) program is a partnership between Rutherford County Schools and Isothermal Community College (ICC) and is located on the ICC campus. Once annually, current eighth grade students living in Rutherford County have the opportunity to consider REaCH as an option for an accelerated curriculum and robust learning in a small, close-knit environment. Because our school’s individualized program of study includes college-level courses beginning the first semester of high school and a significant commitment of time, good attendance, and strong work ethic, the decision to apply should be made as a family.
