Hollis F. Price Middle College

Hollis F. Price Middle College, located in Memphis, Tennessee, is a unique educational institution operated by Shelby County Schools that functions as a partnership between the school district and LeMoyne-Owen College. Unlike a traditional high school, the program is designed specifically for students who are looking for a rigorous, college-preparatory environment. By allowing students to complete their high school graduation requirements while simultaneously earning college credits on a university campus, the school provides a bridge that prepares young learners for the expectations and independence of higher education.

The mission of Hollis F. Price is to foster an academic atmosphere that emphasizes critical thinking, personal responsibility, and post-secondary readiness. Because it is a "Middle College" model, the student experience is tailored to those who are academically motivated and ready for a more mature, collegiate setting. This model is particularly effective for students who may be looking for a non-traditional path to graduation or who wish to get a "head start" on their college degrees, effectively reducing the time and financial burden of their future undergraduate studies.
