About our School
TCC South/FWISD Collegiate High School is located on Tarrant County College's south campus in Fort Worth, Texas.
The school opened in August of 2015 as one of the Fort Worth ISD's Gold Seal Programs & Schools of Choice and its the third stand-alone collegiate high school.
Any rising 9th or 10th grader is eligible to apply. Each year, through a lottery system, students from within and outside of the Fort Worth ISD's attendance zone enroll after being assigned to our Pathways in Technology Early Collegiate High School (P-TECH) per the lottery to expand college and career opportunities for all students and to build a strong workforce that supports the community. In the Fall of 2019, TCC South/FWISD Collegiate High School transitioned as Fort Worth ISD's first P-TECH school focusing on renewable energy. More than 350 students engage in one of the four pathways: Associate of Applied Science in Electronics Technology Advanced Energy Technician, Associate of Applied Science in Electrical Lineman, an Associate of Arts in Business with emphasis on Energy Business-related coursework, and an Associate of Arts stacked with the Water System Operator Class D and Wastewater Operator Class D. Through each associate degree pathway, students take classes that allow them to earn credentials and certificates in the respective fields
Our strong, collaborative team of stakeholders includes school-based personnel, our IHE partner: Tarrant County College South Campus, and Industry Partners: Oncor, City of Fort Worth Water, and Microsoft. We engage as a supportive community of learners and experts to offer the most thorough and productive P-TECH experience for our students grounded in academics and Work-Based Learning experiences.

School Mission
Our mission is to prepare students for the rigorous demands of college and work, and for a range of competitive careers in energy-related fields. In collaboration with Tarrant County College and our industry partners, we seek to close achievement gaps, to improve access to in-demand career pathways and competitive postsecondary programs, and to build a strong pipeline of student talent for a thriving local workforce and economy. Ultimately, our students leave us as skilled candidates for jobs on a ladder of career growth in the energy fields, or as competitive applicants for four-year colleges and postsecondary programs.
