After changing the game this school year by launching seven new collegiate academies and a P-TECH, Dallas ISD announced the launch of 10 new district collegiate academies for the 2017–2018 school year.

Applications will be accepted starting next month to attend one of the new collegiate academies. Students who attend the collegiate academies have the opportunity to earn up to 60 hours of college credit or an associate’s degree– at no cost to them – concurrently with earning a high school diploma.

“We are excited that opportunities for Dallas ISD students continue to expand when it comes to preparing them to enter tomorrow’s workforce,” said Israel Cordero, Chief Strategic Officer of Dallas ISD’s Strategic Initiatives and External Relations department. “These collegiate academies add to existing district programs that are successfully making college a reality and supporting career-readiness even before students graduate from high school.”

Current eighth-graders may complete and submit online applications for their preferred collegiate academy or early college high school starting on Monday, Dec. 5, 2016. The process also includes a student interview. Those who are accepted will be notified as early as Jan. 31

The new collegiate academies, listed with college partner and career pathway, are:

  • W.H. Adamson Collegiate Academy, El Centro College: IT/Computer Information Technology
  • Bryan Adams High School, Eastfield College: Early Childhood Education
  • Hillcrest High School, Richland College: Pre-Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering
