New NEISD early college high school coming soon!

North East ISD is excited to open an early college high school in the fall of 2024 that will be located on the MacArthur High School campus.

Our District is partnering with Alamo Colleges to allow students to graduate with up to 60 college credit hours and an associate’s degree that are transferable to a 4-year institution. Students will also be able to earn Industry Based Certifications (IBC) that will make them extremely competitive in the workforce. Thanks to a grant and recent legislation, students can earn these college credits at no charge to them or their families.

Students will have the opportunity to focus their coursework on in-demand careers like teaching, accounting and the hospitality industry. For students interested in teaching, they will be able to get real-world experience by working with teachers at our elementary campuses. Students interested in business and hospitality will have opportunities to work closely with industry leaders in our area through internships and onthe-job training.

Plans and details are still being finalized, including an official name and logo. But please follow NEISD online and through parent messages for updates.

Our District will accept students for the early college high school for the 2024-2025 school year through a lottery system. You can apply now by visiting neisd.net/magnetprograms More information will be coming soon.

Applications to join NEISD magnet school programs in the 2024-2025 school year are now open. The application deadline is Feb. 5, 2024.
