Manitowoc Lincoln High School

Early College High School Program
A New Kind of College Prep
The Rising Phoenix Early College High School Program is an innovative collaboration between the Manitowoc Public School District and the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay to provide high school students an opportunity to get a head start on college. A group of current sophomore students at Manitowoc Lincoln High School will be admitted to the Rising Phoenix Early College High School Program and will enroll during their junior and senior years. Students will become dually enrolled in college credit courses at Manitowoc Lincoln High School and UW-Green Bay, Manitowoc Campus. Students have the opportunity to earn their high school diploma and a two-year Associate of Arts and Sciences (AAS) degree. The cost of the program is covered by the Manitowoc Public School District and with no cost to students or families. The program will also offer quality educational partnerships that will support student learning and growth in the Manitowoc community. This is the second cohort that will be admitted to the program. The first cohort started in Fall 2020.
Information Sessions - February 2023
Information sessions will be held for students and families to learn more about the program. The goal is to share how the program works, discuss the support available and share the benefits of the program to ensure that it is a fit for the student and their family.
