Pathways in Technology Early College High Schools (P-TECH), are designed to allow students to simultaneously earn a high school diploma and a post-secondary credential in four years. Throughout the four years the students participate in this innovative model, they have a variety of workplace experiences in their chosen pathway. Students in this program take a combination of high school and college courses and receive academic and social support services to ensure their success, at no cost to students or their families!
P-TECHS must target and enroll students who are historically underrepresented in higher education, including economically disadvantaged, first-generation, at-risk, and English Language Learners. Tuition waivers for college attendance are granted to each student.
The key to the success of the College and Career Readiness School Models (CCRSM) like the P-TECHS is a strong partnership between independent school districts (ISDs) and higher education institutions. El Paso Community College has partnered with Canutillo ISD, Clint ISD, El Paso ISD, Fabens ISD, Socorro ISD, and Ysleta ISD to provide nineteen P-TECHS.
El Paso Community College is committed to the success of the CCRSM mission and is adding new schools every year.
