    WELCOME TO HOUSTON!

     
     Crest
     
    Through the transformation of Sam Houston, Midland ISD has created a dynamic collegiate pathway for students in our community starting as young as PreKindergarten. The college preparatory model instills the expectation from the first day on campus that every student will go to college. College prep classroom instruction is enhanced by exposure to university campuses and confidence-building experiences that prepare parent and student expectations of college. 

     

    Campus highlights: 

    • Free before and after-school child care for students beginning at 6:30 am and ending at 6:00 pm. 
    • Personalized learning model
    • High-quality faculty 
    • Campuses in the network average about 2 years of academic growth


    The instructional day starts at 7:45 a.m. 

    The tardy bell rings at 7:45 a.m. All students arriving to school after that time must report to the front office. If a student arrives after 8:00 a.m., a parent will need to escort them to the front office to sign in.

     

    Is Sam Houston Collegiate for you?

    What is Collegiate and Year 2030 Prep? 

    The college preparatory model instills the expectation from the first day on campus that every student will go to college. College prep classroom instruction is rigorous, and student academic growth is a priority.  Our school has high expectations for student academic performance and habits of success.  A college-going culture is enhanced by exposure to university campuses and confidence-building experiences that inform parent and student expectations of college. 

     

    What is meant by Year 2030 Prep? 

    To be successful in the Year 2030 workplace and world, students will have to gain proficiency in new skills such as information literacy, problem solving, critical thinking, communications, and learning how to learn.  Our scholars will be introduced to these skill areas in 2nd grade and take an “Art of Thinking” class that covers these competencies every day from 3rd grade forward.  Students will also be required to engage in labs, sponsored trips out of state, public service hours, problem-solving projects, and many other experiences during their time at Sam Houston.
