All Greenville schools are designed to handle the specific and sometimes unique needs of students -- perhaps none more so than the Houston Education Center.

The Houston Education Center, located at 3923 Henry Street, houses the New Horizons Learning Center, an innovative program opened in Greenville in 1990. New Horizons, created initially with a state grant but continued through a long-term commitment from GISD, aims to help students who have dropped out of school or those who are at-risk of dropping out to complete requirements for a high school diploma.

Students who want to graduate from high school, but are having difficulties or need a second chance, can reach their goals through New Horizons. The school provides an encouraging and positive environment with high expectations for each student.

The learning center is unique in that it is designed for students who have been identified as having personal, academic, economic or attitudinal needs. The school's success rate and New Horizons' ability to impact the community are nothing short of phenomenal.
