CCEMC Mission Statement The 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.
