Middle College for Technology Careers High School (MCTC-HS) was established in 1994 on the campus of Houston Community College . In 1998, the Houston Independent School District established an agreement with Texas Southern University to not only secure a new location for the school, but to incorporate a unique learning environment for technology preparatory high school students. Presently, MCTC-HS is located on the 2nd Floor of Albert Thomas Middle School at 5655 Selinsky Street. Our program is designed to motivate and challenge students interested in developing technological and college preparatory skills. When students graduate they are prepared for both higher education and technology related employment. MCTC-HS’s program is in accordance with state and local (Houston I.S.D.) requirements for high school accreditation and graduation. Additionally, selected classes have been authorized as dual credit courses, meaning students are able to receive both high school credit as well as college semester hours for some classes. After meeting specific qualifications, students may elect to take basic industry- standard Information Technology certified courses offered through Houston Community College System (HCCS) and the CISCO Networking Academy Program. These courses instruct students in the design, construction and maintenance of computer networks. Students graduating from MCTC who have completed these courses from HCCS are eligible to received up to nine semester hours applicable towards a HCCS degree in technology.
HISD support services,
which include HISD transportation and free or reduced price lunches are
available to all students. Also, the safety of MCTC students, like
all HISD students, is a priority and Houston I.S.D. police are assigned to our campus .
School uniforms are required for all MCTC students. | |
