Lone Star College Tomball is participating in a ground breaking study this fall on the impact of emphasizing good GRIT in the classroom and its effect on student retention and completion. Another program offers qualified high school students help in transitioning into the post-school work force. Lone Star College Tomball has dual credit programs for area junior and senior high school students whereby they can earn high school and college credits simultaneously and potentially reduce their college attendance time and costs. To support the oil and gas industry Lone Star College Tomball will be constructing a rig on property near the campus and offering courses in oil and gas drilling technology and training.
All of the TBLC members thanked them for coming and talking to the club.
