Education
A REPUTATION FOR
INNOVATIVE EDUCATION
Education in Tomball is
top class with The Tomball Independent School District (TISD)
and many private and parochial schools offered. TISD has
implemented successfully innovative vocational programs such as
SmartLab, where students work on computer-assisted design and
matching CAD/CAM workstations. Strong community commitment to
education is reflected by the addition of several new schools
within the district. Special features included are a high-tech
design center and a life skills center.
When Tomball College opened in 1988, projected enrollment was
700 students. More than twice that number actually enrolled and
the campus has grown to over 4,000 students today. This
comprehensive community college offers life-long learning
opportunities, with programs ranging from traditional academic
transfer and occupations and career programs to community
education courses and workforce training options. The college is
recognized for its quality of education and outstanding faculty
members who hold masters and doctorate level degrees.
Unlimited academic transfer programs featuring courses, which
transfer to four-year institutions, are available in
mathematics, the sciences, humanities, business and physical
education. Ten career and technology programs allow students to
earn associate degrees or certificates with job related skills.
Career programs include Engineering Technology, Computer
Information Systems and Veterinary Technology. Counselors and
advisors are available to discuss a student’s specific
educational goals and to ensure progress towards that goal.
