Dallas ISD College Readiness

08/20/2026

It takes a team moving in lockstep to make P-TECH and Early College High School programs truly successful.

Our P-TECH & ECHS Retreat brought together assistant principals, program coordinators, counselors, community and state partners, and Dallas ISD’s Postsecondary Partnerships & Programs team for a day of learning, collaboration, and activation.

Together, we unpacked the ever-evolving college and career landscape, shared best practices, strengthened partnerships, and aligned around one goal: creating stronger pathways and greater opportunities for our students.

One team. One mission. Student success!

More Dallas ISD students are leaving high school with college experience already completed. This year, 1,778 students participated in Dallas College graduation ceremonies through our P-TECH and ECHS pathways, a significant increase from 1,493 last year, and 1,334 students just two years ago.

These opportunities allow students to access tuition-free college coursework, industry aligned learning experiences, and workforce preparation while still in high school. The continued growth reflects the commitment of our campuses, families, college partners, and industry leaders working together to expand student access and success.

Challenge accepted 🍎

Dallas ISD students demonstrated what it means to be classroom ready at our recent Teacher Education Pathway Showcase. Students from Sunset, Brookhaven, W.T. White, Bryan Adams, Kimball, Rosie Sorrels, and Lincoln we challenged to design classroom environments and develop mini lessons for 2nd grade learners.

Industry partners evaluated each presentation using a professional rubric, offering feedback aligned to real-world expectations. Experiences like this strengthen the educator pipeline and ensure students are prepared to lead in the classroom.

Big moments. Bright futures. School pride on full display 🎓

P-TECH Signing Days are bringing campuses together to celebrate both new beginnings and exciting next steps. From incoming freshmen taking their first step into a pathway to seniors committing to their future careers, these events highlight the power of preparation and purpose.

With the support of industry partners and school leaders, our students are building pathways in education, technology, and healthcare that lead to real opportunities. The future is here, and it’s full of promise.

We’re proud to celebrate Marely Angeles, a senior in the Associate of Arts-Hospitality pathway and part of the Lincoln High School B-TECH program!

Marely exemplifies resilience and a high-performance mindset. When faced with challenges in her coursework, she leaned in, refining her study habits, strengthening her time management, and pushing forward with discipline and focus. Beyond the classroom, she is a Dallas College Honors student, active in multiple honor societies, and an entrepreneur running her own business.

Marely’s journey is a powerful example of what’s possible through perseverance and determination.

¡Estamos orgullosos de celebrar a Marely Ángeles, estudiante de último año en la trayectoria de Artes Asociadas en Hospitalidad y integrante del programa B‑TECH de Lincoln High School!

Marely ejemplifica resiliencia y mentalidad de alto rendimiento. Cuando se enfrentó a retos en sus cursos, no se dio por vencida: ajustó sus hábitos de estudio, fortaleciendo su manejo del tiempo y siguió adelante con disciplina y enfoque. Más allá del salón de clases, es estudiante de Honores en Dallas College, participa activamente en multiple sociedades de honor y además es emprendedora, desarrollando su propio negocio.

La trayectoria de Marely demuestra claramente todo lo que se puede lograr con perseverancia, esfuerzo y determinación.

This is college readiness in action across Dallas ISD.

Our scholars are showing up, putting in the work, and taking real steps toward what comes next through experiences designed to meet them where they are and propel them forward.

From Registration Ready events to campus visits at the University of Texas at Austin through the OnRamps program, to celebrating scholarship awards and locking in at TSI Boot Camps, momentum is building in every corner of our district.
