Coastal Bend College and Tuloso-Midway High School have developed a collaborative partnership to strengthen secondary-postsecondary CTE pathways through free dual credit, stackable credentials, and intentional alignment between the ISD and the college. Through Warpath Academy, students engage in structured pathways that connect high school CTE participation to transferable college credit and credentials in programs such as Automotive, Cosmetology, Forensic Science, Law Enforcement, and Welding.
This session will highlight how direct collaboration between a school district and a community college can increase access, reduce financial barriers, and create clearer pathways from high school to college and careers. Attendees will learn how this partnership supports student momentum, reduces inefficiencies, strengthens enrollment, and helps meet regional workforce needs.
