Career Center students spend two periods of their day at the Career Center and the remainder of their day at their home campus.
Can I come for just one period?
All courses at both TECC-E and TECC-W will last two periods. In some cases, two or more classes have been combined into a two-period block.
No,TECC-W is a separate facility which prepares students for specialized careers.
Is this school designed for students not planning to go to college?
No. Unlike the traditional vocational education of the 1960's and 70's, the programs we offer at TECC-W are designed to prepare students for success in upper-level technology based education or to provide professional certifications that will allow them to go to work right out of high school.
Does the district provide transportation?
Buses will run from each high school campus to TECC-E and TECC-W. By eliminating the one-period classes, the busing becomes more efficient allowing for increased instructional time. Students also have the option of driving themselves to either career center. For legal reasons, students are forbidden to car pool with other students.
Is it possible to take a course at TECC-W if I am in other activities such as band, choir, sports or cheerleading?
Yes, it is! Students in these activities are able to take these specialized courses most of the time with careful planning and assistance from LISD counselors. It is beneficial to consider ways to give yourself more time in your regular schedule by staying on track with your grades, planning ahead, and not putting yourself in the position of repeating coursework.
