Lone Star College (LSC) is a public community college system serving the northern portions of the Greater Houston, Texas, area. In 2017 it enrolled about 95,000 students.[2] The headquarters of the Lone Star College System are located in The Woodlands and in unincorporated Montgomery County, Texas.

## History[edit]

Logo of North Harris County College

The voters of the Aldine, Spring, and Humble school districts created North Harris County College in 1972 and opened the college for classes in 1973.

The district expanded in 1991 to cover neighboring Montgomery County and adopted the new name of North Harris Montgomery Community College District.

As the district expanded to include areas outside north Harris and Montgomery Counties, the Board of Trustees decided the District's current name did not adequately define the service area, plus it was hard to remember and was quite lengthy. During the first semester of the 2007 - 2008 school year, trustees initiated a name-change process using an online voting system;[3] among the options was the name Lone Star College System which was offered as 1) two of the colleges (Lone Star College–North Harris and Lone Star College–Montgomery) already included the name and 2) the 75th Texas Legislature adopted HR1123, recognizing Montgomery County as the birthplace of the Flag of Texas, known for its lone star which serves as the state motto. [4]

The name Lone Star College System was selected by those voting, and on November 1, 2007, the Board of Trustees officially approved Lone Star College System as the District's new name. The Lone Star College logo, known as "The Star of Tomorrow," was designed by Houston advertising agency Richards/Carlberg.[5][6]

### LSC Bond History[edit]

November 4, 2014

Voters went to the polls on November 4, 2014, and approved the $485 million bond referendum for Lone Star College, which will be used to create more learning facilities and opportunities. The referendum passed garnering 65% of the vote.[7]

May 11, 2013

A $497.7 million bond referendum proposed by Lone Star College System has fallen short of voter approval. With all precincts reporting across Harris and Montgomery counties, 55.6% of voters voted against the bond and only 44.4% favored it.[8]

May 10, 2008

Lone Star College called and approved a $420 million bond election for May 10, 2008, which was approved by voters getting 62% of the vote. LSCS last attempt to pass more than $200 million in the bond election of November 2006 failed.[9]

### 2013 campus violence[edit]

Main articles: Lone Star College–North Harris § 2013 shooting, and Lone Star College–CyFair § 2013 stabbing

On January 22, 2013, the north Harris County campus was put on lockdown for a shooting where at least three people were shot. All were taken to a local hospital with gunshot wounds. The shooting occurred outside the library and learning lab. A Harris County deputy sheriff said, "We found that the incident was not an active shooter incident, but was an altercation between two individuals."[10][11]

Three months later, on April 9, 2013, the Cy-Fair campus and seven other schools in the area were put on lockdown when a student named Dylan Quick started stabbing outside the science lab and soon went through other buildings. Authorities were notified of the incident at 11:12 a.m., but the campus wasn't notified until just a minute after. As authorities arrived, Quick had already been chased down and subdued in the parking lot by four fellow students and was soon taken away. A total of sixteen people were injured, two of them critically and four of them seriously; all survived. Quick was charged with one count of attempted murder and two charges of aggravated assault. In December 2015, he was sentenced to 48 years in prison for the attack. He is eligible for parole in 2039.[12]

## Board of trustees[edit]

The Lone Star College System Board of Trustees is responsible for ensuring that the Lone Star College System is an integral part of their communities and serves their needs. The board members do not do the work of the college; rather it establishes a vision for the work through the policies it sets.

All board members represent Lone Star College as residents within the LSCS District and serve without remuneration or emolument of office except where benefits are provided by state law. Board members are elected as representatives of nine single-member districts by citizens in the Lone Star College in-district service area in November of even-numbered years and serve terms of six years each.[13]

## Academics[edit]

In fall 2020, the college will begin offering some four-year programs in Bachelor of Applied Technology in Cybersecurity, Bachelor of Science, Nursing (RN to BSN transition program), and Bachelor of Applied Science in Energy, Manufacturing, & Trades Management degrees after approval from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges.[14]
