Texas A&Mâs Department of Agricultural Leadership, Education and Communications, or ALEC, has partnered with rural schools to implement early college programs.
The partnership between ALEC and Roscoe Independent School District began with Kim Alexander, Roscoe ISDâs former superintendent. While serving as principal of Roscoe High School, Alexander began working on his doctorate in agricultural education through a joint program with A&M and Texas Tech. For his dissertation, Alexander focused his research on what could be done to help disadvantaged students learn best and implement strategies within the framework to boost the number of those students who continued onto higher education.
