Good article in the Freep today about Oakland Early College (OEC). Snip:
Ines Gonzales came prepared. The application was filled out, the essay was carefully handwritten, and recommendations were in hand. And she was succinct in explaining her reasons for wanting to enroll in Oakland County's first early college.
"It's free," Ines, 15 and a freshman at Brandon High School, said of the school that will allow her to earn high school and college credit.
She and her mother, Irma Moran-Gonzales, were among several dozen people who last week attended the first of three open houses to promote Oakland Early College, a new school that is the result of a partnership between the West Bloomfield School District and Oakland Community College.
