Lone Star College stays on top of the community’s needs. This vigilance creates opportunities to offer programming, services, resources and a campus community to all groups, including the underserved populations.
“Lone Star College serves the community in multiple ways, including providing affordable college education close to home,” said Gerald F. Napoles, Ph.D., LSC vice chancellor, Student Success. “Offering accessible academic and workforce programs is in line with our central focus of student success.”
LSC saw the need to offer a full community college experience to residents living inside Beltway 8. In fall 2019, LSC-Houston North became the college system’s seventh main campus that continually implements resources, such as its partnership with Houston METRO to address the pressing needs of its students.
“LSC-Houston North opened to bring top-quality educational programming to individuals residing in a subsection of the the Lone Star College System that has a high concentration of lower-income households,” said Quentin Wright, Ed.D, LSC-Houston North president. “Providing Lone Star College services changes lives and transforms communities.”
LSC-Houston North has four locations: LSC-Houston North Fairbanks, LSC-Houston North Fallbrook, LSC-Houston North Greenspoint and LSC-Houston North Victory.

Lone Star College offers other programming to help underserved populations reach their personal, educational or career goals. Those opportunities include the General Education Developmental Test (GED®), English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), LSC lifePATH® program and the African American and Hispanic Institute for Males.
General Education Developmental (GED®) Test
Adults who did not graduate from high school but would like their diploma can enroll in the GED® program available at various LSC locations. The course will prepare them to pass four tests: mathematics, language arts, social studies and science needed to earn their high school diploma. The GED® Test, approved by the State Board of Education and Texas Education Agency (TEA), measures high school equivalency skills. Graduates can participate in LSC’s spring Commencement Ceremonies.
English Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL)
ESOL teaches students the knowledge and skills needed to become successful English speakers. They learn to improve their reading, writing, speaking and listening skills while gaining the confidence to communicate with other English speakers. ESOL covers many topics, including business, community services, emergencies, financial literacy, health, school and work.
LSC lifePATH® Program
LSC lifePATH® helps neurodiverse students develop valuable skills such as independence, self-determination, career exploration and other abilities needed to succeed in the workforce. Students participate in coursework, activities and various internship programs with an opportunity to earn an Occupational and Life Skills Associate Degree or a Business Operations Certificate. Lone Star College lifePATH® is available at LSC-Tomball and LSC-Montgomery.
African American and Hispanic Institute for Males
The African American and Hispanic Institute for Males is an LSC-Kingwood program that prepares young minority males ages 14-18 for success after high school. The four-day, intensive summer conference covers various topics, including leadership, cultural heritage, life skills, interview etiquette and college preparedness. The end goal is to connect the students with male role models who will help them take advantage of the educational opportunities offered at Lone Star College.
