HCC Southeast College

Welcome to Houston City College Southeast — a place where education, opportunity, and community come together.

As a first-generation college graduate, I know firsthand how education can transform lives and open doors that once felt out of reach. That’s why at HCC Southeast, our mission is deeply personal. We are dedicated to empowering students and families right here in Houston’s East End, a proud and resilient community with extraordinary potential.

Our two campuses — Eastside and Felix Fraga — are vibrant spaces designed to help every student thrive. At our Eastside Campus, students enjoy a full college experience with high-quality academic programs, workforce training, and continuing education opportunities. Our Student Life Center offers a gym, theater, and Eagle Food Market, ensuring that basic needs are met so students can stay focused on their goals.

At our Felix Fraga Campus, the Fraga Academic and STEM Buildings provide cutting-edge spaces for exploration, including a telescope, Apple lab, and makerspace. We are also proud to host the HCC–University of Houston Engineering Academy, a partnership that lets students begin their engineering journey close to home while building a pathway to a four-year degree.

Across both campuses, students have access to the latest technology and support through our Digital Access Labs, XR Lab Makerspace, Tutoring Center, and Library. These resources — paired with our Centers of Excellence in Material Science and Smart Manufacturing, Logistics and Global Supply Chain Management, and Education Professions — prepare our students for in-demand careers through hands-on, real-world learning.

At HCC Southeast, we believe in the power of education to uplift individuals, families, and our community. Whether you are the first in your family to attend college, returning to school, or seeking new skills for a better future, know that this is a place where you belong and where your dreams are within reach.

Best wishes,

Dr. Frances Villagran-Glover, D.A.

Meet the HCC Southeast Leadership Team.

HCC Southeast College is located in the East End section of Houston, formally known as Houston’s Second Ward. The essence of the East End District is deeply rooted within the culture and connections of the region. The cultural richness and tenacity of its community members are an essential part of the college.

HCC Southeast College opened its doors in 1992 and welcomed over 2,000 students in its first semester. Two years after opening its doors, HCC Southeast College dedicated its first building to one of the finest Hispanic businessmen and civic leaders of the East End, Mr. Felix H. Morales. Over the years, HCC Southeast has grown to serve the needs of a growing community. In 1999, a second building was built and named in honor of Angela V. Morales, mother of State Representative Christina Morales, wife of Felix H. Morales, civic leader, and philanthropist. The continued growth of students and community activities led to the construction of a state of the art 90,000 square foot facility which is named in honor of late HCC Southeast President Dr. Irene Porcarello.

Presently, HCC Southeast College has a total of two full campuses, the Eastside Campus, and the Felix Fraga Campus. The Eastside campus is composed of seven buildings including a covered parking garage and a state-of-the-art Student Life Center. The Felix Fraga Campus is composed of two buildings, the Felix Fraga Academic building, and the Felix Fraga Science STEM building. In partnership with the Houston Independent School District (HISD), the Felix Fraga campus welcomed the opening of the Early College High school in 2006.

HCC Southeast College’s commitment to excellence continues by offering our community three Centers of Excellence (COE) which include Material Science and Smart Manufacturing, Logistics and Global Supply Chain Management, and Education Professions.
