The College Center (TCC) is an early college program that partners with Midlands Technical College to offer students the opportunity to complete an associate degree in high school for FREE.
 
TCC is not an at-risk program. It was designed for motivated students who might benefit from being in a smaller cohort (cap of 100 per grade level) as they complete high school and college credits.
 
Any current 8th-grade student is eligible to apply for the 2025-26 academic year, and any current 7th-grade student can apply for the 2026-27 academic year. Students begin the program in 9th grade.
 
Admitted students from all five high schools in Lexington County School District One attend the full-day program (8:55 a.m. - 2:50 p.m.) located at the North Lake Community Learning Center.
 
The application will launch via ParentSquare on Monday, September 16, 2024 and closes on December 16, 2024.
