Attention All Texas College students entering Texas College's in the Fall of 2012:

YOU NEED A MENINGITIS VACCINE (MCV4) BEFORE YOU GO TO COLLEGE THIS FALL. Click HERE for more information.

You have probably notice some construction under way on our campus. Please be careful during these last few weeks of school when driving on the north side of the campus or entering the east side by the cafeteria.

1. We are getting a new orchestra room added on the north side of our band hall. This additional facility will not only benefit our orchestra students but will be a great benefit to our music program. We will also have a few alterations made to our parking lot on the north side which should help the flow of traffic when students are being picked up from this area.
2. We are getting an extension on the east side of our building that will provide a multiple-use, double classroom.
3. Less visible but another area under construction this summer will be in our kitchen. We will have some remodeling  in our serving areas that will create a new serving line as well as opening up the serving areas.

All of this construction will occur during the summer and is scheduled to be completed by the first week in August before we begin our fall activities. We will still be able to conduct most of our regular scheduled summer camps and activities, but please observe all signs when visiting campus this summer.
