We have achieved a remarkable milestone this year, reaching our highest enrollment to date with over 4,000 students. Our success is largely attributed to our grassroots outreach strategy and the invaluable support from our community partners. I would like to highlight two upcoming community-focused events.

Our Panther Pact Emergency Fund is a safety net for our students, with 100% of the proceeds helping them directly.
We are the most diverse Lone Star College institution and our locations exist in the lowest-income sections of our system’s service area. However, for the past three years, our students have continually had some of the highest completion rates within the system.
We invested a lot of time into developing partnerships so we can help students in a cost-efficient manner. We've helped students remove barriers such as food insecurity, clothing and toiletry needs, textbook costs, as well as a technology divide.
Your contribution will directly support a student in continuing their legacy.
