Houston PREP is an intensive mathematics-based pre-college enrichment program that is held each summer at the University of Houston - Downtown. The program is free to students and transportation will be provided to our students from two locations within the district. The program will run from June 12-July 21, 8:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. We estimate that students will return to the district at about 3:30 p.m. each day.
