Dual Credit at LSC-Houston North is an opportunity for high school students to earn high school and college credit simultaneously. Students demonstrating college readiness through a college placement exam can earn college and high school credits in the same course by attending classes at their high school, on a Lone Star campus, and/or online. We partner with independent school districts, charter schools, private schools, and homeschool parents to offer courses in the core curriculum, foreign languages, and workforce education.

Manager, School Partnerships

Erica is committed to student success in and out of the classroom through creating meaningful relationships and social justice by expanding college equity for all. As a former local dual credit student herself, Erica truly understands the impact and opportunity dual credit brings to our community and its students. After her time as a dual credit student, Erica was a part of the inaugural Honors College Chancellor’s Fellows program at LSC-Montgomery and a Terry Scholar at the University of Houston where she obtained her bachelor’s degree in Psychology.
Erica started her career in education during her time as a student at LSC. She currently manages educational and school partnerships at LSC-Houston North, but in her tenure at LSC, she coordinated on many events with the student ambassador program, provided equitable access for students in the office of disabilities, and helped expand LSC’s mission through the FYE program. One of her biggest passions about working in education is helping students navigate their path to academic and career success.
Jane Buckner
VECHS Advisor
Jane.T.HakalaBuckner@LoneStar.edu
Jane’s work in public education began as a school health nurse, though she was quickly drawn into the education field. As a teacher, curriculum specialist in health and school administrator, she had multiple opportunities to work closely with students and families. Jane’s position as adjunct instructor at UH for 13 years enabled her to work with preservice teachers to create opportunities that promoted classroom wellness and the impact that has on academic achievement.
In 2007, Jane joined LSC-Tomball as an academic advisor, and later as Manager of the school’s first TRIO Student Support program. Jane and her staff created a strong model program to ensure student success. TRIO’s work with first generation students proved that with access to services and meaningful connections, academic success could be achieved. Jane considers herself to be a success partner with each student that she encounters.
Jane earned degrees from Northern Illinois University, University of Houston and Prairie View University. She enjoys reading, cycling and spending time with her family. While she has several volunteer interests, her top priority is projects that promote dignity among individuals and families that are striving to become stronger.
