What is P-Tech?

P-Tech stands for Pathways of Technology Early College High School. This program allows for students to have the opportunity to earn an industry-related associate's degree, professional certifications, and obtain work-based education all while obtaining their high school diploma. P-Tech provides a transformative approach to high school education that immerses students in educational opportunities that are connected to Texas's regional labor market demands. This allows our students to be equipped to successfully transition out of high school and into the next phase of their future.
