Opening
The school was opened at the former Cartoogechaye Elementary School, and was relocated in 2007 to the new SCC Macon Campus. The school has received much praise since its introduction to the area, primarily in regard to the accelerated educational tract including college credit, small class sizes, and enriching environment. The Macon Early College now has a new building across from the main building at Southwestern Community College where the students attend their high school classes.
