College Preparatory Course

House Bill 5 created an opportunity for Alamo Colleges, UTSA, TAMUSA, and several independent school districts within ESC-20, to build a partnership. Together, we have designed the College Preparatory courses for English and Math, which are offered to 12th grade students. In the partnership, professors and K-12 educators collaborated to determine standards, assessments, resources, and professional development to offer the College Preparatory courses. If you are interested in building a partnership with Alamo Colleges, UTSA, and TAMUSA, please use the following process:

1. Download Memorandum of Understanding, add your district logo, then sign and return it to Kristi Booth [email protected]. Ms. Booth will route the MOU through the Alamo Colleges, to TAMUSA, then to UTSA, and back to Alamo Colleges, who will return a fully executed document to you.
