COLLEGE AND CAREER

  • Your College and Career Specialist is Stephanie England. The College and Career Specialist works both at the campus level and district level to provide information to students and parents regarding the college process, career options, and how to best prepare yourself for post-secondary education. I work closely with your guidance counselors on the Cypress Woods High School Campus, and I want to partner with you the best way I can. 

    If you are a university requesting a campus visit to Cy-Woods, please contact Stephanie England, M.Ed. - College and Career Specialist.

    The College and Career Center is now open. Located inside the Cypress Woods Library, the College and Career Center is open during all lunches and before or after school.

  • LONE STAR COLLEGE DUAL CREDIT RATES FOR 2023-2024

    Lone Star College has announced a fee increase for Dual Credit courses.  

    3 hr course will cost $120

    4 hr course will cost $160

    Hours for a course can be determined by the second number for the course; for example, HIST 1301, this course is a 3 hr course at Lone Star College. 

    This is still a low price for a college course, plus it is a fabulous opportunity to save money and earn a degree faster.  In addition, CFISD does purchase the textbooks for dual credit classes, so that will be another opportunity where you can save money while earning dual college credit in high school. Some college textbooks can range from $75 upwards to $200+ dollars.

    Lone Star College does offer a payment plan.

    Comparing tuition prices to other schools based on student taking 12 hours (4 classes):

    Lone Star College Dual Credit: $480
