A college education can be a gateway to opportunity. But it can also be costly, and the transition to college can be a challenge. In our dual-credit program, Dell City High students can earn college credits, learn what will be expected of them in the college context and develop the skills to succeed there – all free of charge.

Karen Torres – who joined Dell City ISD this year as the school's pre-K and kinder teacher – brings almost 25 years of experience to her work here.

Clemens Boakye – “Mr. B” – joined Dell City ISD this year as the school's secondary math teacher.
