This year, the Dual Credit Summer Academy will be online. Originally, it was planned to be held at Atascocita High School but has now been converted to an online format. Course registration will be managed by Lone Star College-Kingwood. The courses will be taught by Lone Star College-Kingwood faculty.

Courses Available: 8th Graders have the opportunity to take DRAM 1310.
