Alamo Colleges District Hits a Historic Enrollment High
The Alamo Colleges District announced that Fall 2025 enrollment has surged to a record 87,757 students across its five colleges—a 12.1% increase over last year and the largest student body in the district’s history. The milestone comes as the district celebrates its 80th anniversary.
“This record-breaking milestone reflects the trust our community and partners place in the Alamo Colleges and their belief in our moonshot,” said Chancellor Dr. Mike Flores. “As we celebrate 80 years of opportunity, we are reminded that education transforms generations.”
Dual Credit and First-Time Students Drive Growth
Dual credit and early college high school programs surged to 21,851 students, a 30.96% increase, making up more than a quarter of total enrollment. First-time-in-college figures remain strong at 15,778 students, including over 12,000 AlamoPROMISE Scholars attending tuition-free. Continuing students climbed to 42,131, a near 13% increase, reflecting strong persistence and wraparound support.
Expanding High School Pathways
The district is now partnered with 84 institutions—including 46 independent school districts, 21 charters, and 17 private schools. This fall introduces three new Early College High School programs, with two more launching in 2026. P-TECH initiatives are also expanding, adding four new pathways this fall and nine more in development.
Programs such as the Alamo Collegiate Network with San Antonio ISD and the Alamo Academies—serving 10 districts and 18 high schools—continue to connect students directly to college and workforce opportunities. Nearly 200 homeschool students are also enrolled in dual credit courses.
Building for the Future
This enrollment milestone supports the district’s vision of reaching 100,000 students by 2030, underpinned by a $987 million bond that will fund new academic and workforce facilities. Planned projects include centers for nursing, advanced manufacturing, and emerging technologies, ensuring the region is prepared for future workforce demands.
“As we grow, we are opening doors for more students to pursue their dreams and build brighter futures for themselves, their families, and our region,” Flores added.
