History
TCEC opened in 2006 on the TCCC campus. With the support of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, TCEC was one of over 40 North Carolina early colleges created to carry out former Governor Mike Easley's Learn and Earn Initiative.
In July 2021, a new 66,000-square-foot building broke ground on 27 next to Tri-County Community College (TCCC). This building was for the new Cherokee County Schools of Innovation (CCSI), which not only houses TCEC, but also houses The Oaks Academy (TOA) vocational school, and the Cherokee County Schools Career Academy. The building was designed by LS3P Architects. Alissa Cheek, first and previous TCEC principal was head of the project, as tapped by then superintendent Dr. Jeana Y. Conley. Cherokee County Schools hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony on August 22, 2023 for CCSI and the first day of the 2023-2024 school year was August 29.
