P-TECH

Pathways in Technology Early College High Schools (P-TECH) is a public-private partnership involving Austin Community College and an industry partner that will prepare Round Rock ISD students for high-skill health science jobs.

Students in grades nine through 12 will experience a seamless high school and college coursework and workplace learning sequence where they will earn their high school diploma, industry based certification, a Level 1 or Level 2 certification and/or transcript college credit toward an Associate degree culminating in an A.A.S. degree at no cost.

Round Rock ISD’s health science P-TECH program will open enrollment applications for rising District ninth-graders in the late Fall 2023 or early Spring 2024. Eighth-grade students from all 11 District middle schools who meet all requirements for promotion from eighth to ninth grade are eligible to apply. P-TECH Early College High School will be located at Cedar Ridge High School.

Students must pass all parts of the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) assessment before entering their sophomore year in order to take their ACC courses to continue in the program.
