The Fruitvale High School P-TECH program works within our High School program.  This program allows students an opportunity to receive both a high school diploma and a credential and/or an associate degree. The hallmark of the P-TECH model is its career focus and the provision of work-based education. P-TECH programs:

• Enroll historically underserved students, targeting at-risk and economically disadvantaged 

• Provide students grade 9 through 12 the opportunity to complete a course of study that combines high school and post-secondary courses

• Enable students to earn a high school diploma, along with an associate degree, Level 1 or Level 2 certificate, or industry-based certification within six years

• Offer age-appropriate work-based learning opportunity in every grade level

• Allow students to gain work experience through an internship, apprenticeship, or other job training program

• Align to regional workforce needs, guiding students into high-demand, high-wage careers

• Partner with Texas Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) and regional businesses and industries, giving students access to post-secondary education and workforce training opportunities
