About Robert Turner College and Career High School

Robert Turner will partner with local colleges and businesses for equipment, supplies and training expertise, in turn producing graduates with career-ready skills for the area workforce.

In addition to saving students thousands in college tuition dollars, the campus will provide flexibility for programs to adapt to the changing job market and student interest.

Possible fields of study include medical, information technology, agriculture science and radio/TV/video communications.

Pearland and Dawson high school students will choose to attend the campus rather than being zoned there. Meanwhile, students will continue to participate in fine arts and athletics at PHS or DHS, with transportation provided between their home campus and Robert Turner.
