About the Academy for Careers in Engineering and Science

History

The Academy for Careers in Engineering and Science (ACES), a STEM magnet school within Conroe ISD, was founded in 1987 at Oak Ridge High School and moved to The Woodlands College Park High School in stages from 2005 to 2007. ACES began at Oak Ridge High School in 1987, with the first graduates in 1991. The academy gradually transitioned to The Woodlands College Park High School from fall 2005 to spring 2007 to accommodate expected growth in students attending Oak Ridge from its attendance zone. ACES operates as a school-within-a-school model with its partner, Oak Ridge High School.
