Principal's Corner
PRINCIPAL'S CORNER
Hello! Welcome to the Roanoke valley Early College. My name is Eric Pullen, and it has been my pleasure to serve the school community here at RVEC since 2016. I have the distinct pleasure of leading the #1 School in the Roanoke Valley!
As a school, we are placing a tremendous focus on increasing our rigor throughout all classes so that our students are challenged, engaged, and learning. One of the ways we seek to meet our goal of being the best in the area is to graduate 100% of our seniors with dual degrees- a high school diploma and an associates degree. We are also working on increasing our communication with families so that they are more engaged in their child's school and to create a small, supportive learning environment for each of student's where they are encouraged to excel.
If you have any questions or concerns, my door is always open. I can be reached by phone here at the school at 252-536-6382 or by email anytime at [email protected].
