ABOUT The VEC

1 program 5 schools

We bring students together from the 5 Vail high schools into one unified program. VEC students still graduate from their Vail high school.

We are Vail!

The VEC is a program in the Vail School District in partnership with Pima Community College, located on Pima's East campus.

Tuition Free

College tuition and fees (up to 4 classes per semester) are all covered for the Vail Early College student. VEC students earn on average 27 credits prior to graduation from high school.

200 and counting!
