                                                             WELCOME to Jones Futures Academy P-TECH

     

    Houston ISD is expanding college opportunities for students, thanks to an exciting partnership with Houston Community College (HCC). Students attending Jones Futures Academy P-TECH HVAC will take high school courses AND take classes at Houston Community College. Upon completion, students will earn a high school diploma AND an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree in two years. Combined with the support of a vast array of vested industry partners, students will be equipped and engaged from start to finish of their education journey to obtain gainful employment upon completion. 

                                                                                                                                                                                                               

    P-TECH stands for Pathways in Technology Early College. Jones Futures Academy P-TECH students take core courses that deliver rigorous Pre-AP, AP and Dual Credit academic instruction. P-TECH students are also enrolled in our Career and Technical courses in which they develop the workplace skills employers seek. Jones Futures Academy's partnership with Houston Community College and numerous industry leaders allows our students the opportunity to develop specific skills needed for careers in high growth industries. The AAS degrees are “career specific” programs that align students with immediate employment post-graduation.

     

    Jones’ P-TECH ECHS is built upon high expectations for students.  With family and community support we believe that all P-TECH students can earn their college degree. Our P-TECH students participate in a range of workplace opportunities that include mentoring, externships, and paid internships — all designed to support students’ academic and professional growth."
