Pathways in Technology Early College High Schools (P-TECH) are open-enrollment programs that allow students least likely to attend college or who wish to accelerate completion of high school, to combine high school courses and college-level courses while participating in rigorous and accelerated instruction. P-TECH also offers students the opportunity to engage in work-based learning at every grade level.
P-TECHs are required to meet the design elements in each benchmark and OBMs to receive the TEA P-TECH designation.
