Nutt said she’ll feel like LSCS has succeeded if they register 500 students over the first spring and summer semesters. She predicted that over the next couple of years, the campus could see enrollment of at least 4,500 students. “Our first priority is to get the building open and operational,” Nutt said. Erich Morris, MISD’s assistant superintendent of operations, said the district is starting to have conversations with LSCS officials about what potential partnerships could look like. “We are anxious to see what possibilities may exist in the future, through ... working with our [career and technical education] programs,” Morris said. With regard to the district, data from LSCS shows that at least 200 MISD graduates have attended the community college during every fall semester since 2020. On the Tomball ISD side, at least 300 graduates from that district have attended LSC in that same time frame.
