Beginning with an associates degree program assisted with revenue from wind energy, RCISD developed a P-20 program (preschool to PhD)^[2] capability in cooperation with colleges and universities in the area, notably Western Texas College in Snyder and Texas State Technical College between Roscoe and Sweetwater, and additional partnerships with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, 4H, and the Texas Tech T-STEM Center.
