The South Garland P-TECH (Pathways in Technology Early College High School) is made up of a partnership between South Garland High School and Eastfield College. This program offers students the opportunity to graduate with up to 60 college credits or an Associate's Degree for free.  A unique feature for P-TECH is that students pick a specialty in a particular, high-demand career field and work towards industry certificates while still in high school. Here at South Garland, students can pick from three pathways: Automotive Technology, Electro-Mechanical Technology, and Welding.

The South Garland P-TECH student will conveniently attend courses inside a dedicated section of South Garland High School for three years before moving to the Eastfield Campus their senior year. This allows students to experience college curriculum while participating in all of the organizations and extracurricular activities that South Garland offers. These students will also have access to Eastfield College campus and its resources.

The P-TECH program is limited each year (25 Auto Tech, 20 Electro-Mechanical Technology, and 20 Welding). This will allow students to be grouped in a small cohort to foster a tight-knit learning community. The P-TECH is an extraordinary opportunity that could transform the life of your child. Students can select South Garland P-TECH as one of their six choices on the Choice of School form. Each P-TECH degree plan is a separate choice on the form.
