About P-TECH

Del Valle ISD partner with Austin Community College, Tesla, and Infineon to provide our Pathways in Technology Early College High (P-TECH) young scholars with an educational opportunity to earn their high school diploma, Level 1 Certificate, and an Associate Degree in Applied Science simultaneously, while still in high school. With a Level 1 Certificate, students can join the workforce immediately after graduating from high school, or they have the option to attend a four-year college or university to continue a degree towards their program of study. The opportunities for students are endless with Del Valle Pathways in Technology Early College High!

Our P-TECH offers two programs of study, Advanced Manufacturing and Cybersecurity. This unique high school experience focuses on work-based learning experiences and interactions with industry professionals.

Pathways in Technology Early College High (P-TECH) students can participate in extracurricular activities during their freshman and sophomore years. However, the college course load increases during the junior and senior years, requiring careful consideration and planning to continue participating in both.
