More Lewisville ISD students want into the district's career and technical courses than there are seats, according to an annual update headed to the school board on Tuesday, Oct. 13.
The report lists waitlists for programs at the district's career centers, TECC-East and TECC-West, for the 2025-26 school year. Six programs had more than 24 students waiting:
- Health Science Level 1: 132, down from 164 the year before but up from 26 in 2023-24
- Electrical: 59
- Cosmetology: 45
- Wood Manufacturing: 44, up from 11 the year before
- Welding: 36
- Ag Mechanics: 26
Certifications
Students earned 3,167 industry-based certifications that count toward the state's college, career and military readiness measures, and 2,629 students earned at least one, the district says. Three years earlier, in 2022-23, the totals were 1,373 certifications and 863 students. The most common last year was a food safety certification, with 1,113 earned, followed by a general management certification at 348.
The district says every program of study now has at least one matching certification and the goal is to offer two.
The Colony High
The update says three limited liability companies have formed out of the INCubatoredu business class at The Colony High School and four at Lewisville High, and it notes a visit by The Colony High students to Nebraska Furniture Mart and Scheels.
