LPS Launches Lion Collegiate Academy Beginning Next Year

As Leadership Prep School continues to exhibit excellence and innovation, the district is announcing the launching of the Lion's Collegiate Academy in partnership with Collin College. This program allows students to simultaneously earn an associate degree and high school diploma, or earn up to 60 hours of dual credit while in high school. This program begins in the 2024-25 school year. 

“We are excited to bring this amazing opportunity to our students,” Audra Floyd, Chief Academic Officer, said. “We are so fortunate to have a Collin College campus in our community where our students can earn two degrees at the same time.”

Additionally, Lion Collegiate Academy students will be enrolled at Leadership Prep School and can continue to be a Lion by participating in LPS programs including fine arts, athletics, career and technology education and other student clubs. One of the most critical parts of LPS providing this opportunity for students is to ensure students have a high school experience to learn, grow and lead in all areas.

“We are excited to be entering into this new partnership with LPS Lion Collegiate Academy and allowing more students to experience college early through our program,” said Raul Martinez, associate vice president of P-12 partnerships for Collin College. “Through our program, LPS students can earn college credits while still in high school, scholarship opportunities, and access to all that Collin College offers.” 

Families interested in learning more about the LPS Lion Collegiate Academy may contact Karon Andrews, the Academic Advisor.
