Celebrating Academic Excellence: iSchool High Graduates Earn Diplomas and Associate Degrees

This spring marks an extraordinary milestone for a group of students across iSchool High campuses. Not only are they celebrating the traditional achievement of earning their high school diplomas, but they have also walked away with associate degrees, a dual accomplishment that reflects years of hard work, discipline, and academic excellence. This year, iSchool High campuses saw a total of 85 students—more than half of this year’s combined graduating class of 161 students—reach this impressive milestone.

At iSchool High, students benefit from a mastery-based education that features personalized instruction and dedicated teacher support. As part of the early college high school program, students can begin taking college-level courses as early as ninth grade, putting them on track to earn both a high school diploma and an associate degree by graduation

Located on Lone Star College campuses throughout the Houston metropolitan area, iSchool High gives students direct access to college resources and a collegiate learning environment. This immersive experience not only prepares them academically but also helps them build confidence, independence, and time management skills that are crucial for success in higher education and beyond.

“Our students exemplify the success of the early college high school model,” said Bradley Sharp, Campus Director at iSchool High at University Park. “They are proof that with dedication and support, students can achieve extraordinary academic milestones and get a head start on their future.”

For many, this accomplishment opens doors to even greater opportunities. With two years of college already completed, these graduates are well-positioned to transfer into four-year universities as juniors, saving both time and tuition costs. Others may choose to enter the workforce or pursue specialized programs with a strong academic foundation already in hand.

“This is a special group of students,” said Michelon Thompson, Campus Director at iSchool High – The Woodlands. “The iSchool High and Lone Star College communities have played a pivotal role in guiding these students to this point, offering mentorship and resources, and we could not be more proud of all they have accomplished and will continue to accomplish in the future.”

Congratulations to the Class of 2025!
