About OCTECHS:

The Odessa Career & Technical Early College High School (OCTECHS) allows students the opportunity to graduate high school not only with a high school diploma but also a two-year associates degree from Odessa College. While that is the format for all early college high schools, the focus on career and technical courses is what sets OCTECHS apart. OCTECHS is one of only four high schools with this type of format and focus in the nation. OCTECHS opened its doors in August 2015 and offers rigorous high school and college classes, AVID high school and college infused classes, access to a college platform, College student life, and immersion into a true college experience. 

OCTECHS students take all their college classes at Odessa College and are offered a choice between the following focal programs.

• Culinary Arts
• Criminal Justice 
• Welding Technology
• Industrial Machine Technology
