Today, Texans Can has 14 campuses located in Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio and has impacted the lives of over 151,000 students.
Texans Can Academies was founded in 1985 and its current CEO is Dr. James Ponce, Superintendent. Since its inception 41 years ago, Texans Can Academies has grown to 685 employees.
Our mission is to provide the highest quality education for all students, especially those who have struggled in a traditional high school setting, in order to ensure their economic independence.
