What people are saying

by a parent
Sunday, July 31, 2011

My daughter graduated with a High School Distinguished Diploma and an Associate of Arts degree (72 college hours) around the same time. She actually graduated from college first (May 2011) before high school (June 2011).

This school is purely academic (no sports, no band, no cheerleading), but definitely prepares the student for college. They do have student clubs and occasional dances.

The course load is very demanding but in the end, very worth it.

The teachers are great and will work with the students; very close knit school because only around 400 students (100 of each grade level) attend the school.

My daughter was accepted and will transfer her college hours to the University of Texas Health Science Center School of Nursing in Houston's medical center.

If everything goes as planned, she will graduate with her BSN at 19. Close Quote
