Summit High SchoolSummit P-TECH Academy
P-TECH stands for Pathways in Technology Early College High School
The Summit P-TECH Academy offers students the opportunity to pursue college credit, work-based learning, and industry-recognized certifications in computer programming and software development or cybersecurity.
There are numerous benefits associated with attending Summit's P-TECH Academy. Students have an opportunity to earn tuition-free college credit, obtain a Level I Certificate in Programming or Cybersecurity through Tarrant County College (TCC), and participate in work-based learning opportunities with our industry partner, Mouser Electronics — all while getting their high school diploma.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, software developers and programmers have a higher-than-average job outlook, and occupations within these fields are expected to grow as much as 25 percent in the next 10 years. In addition, software developers can earn up to $120k per year, while computer programmers can earn as much as $93k annually.
Accepted students will attend the school-within-a-school for their entire high school career and benefit from real-world experiences like job shadowing, internships, and mentorships with Mouser.
