Marcus Irving

Academic Lead Counselor
10th – 12th Grade

I have dedicated my career to education since August 2000, all within Aldine ISD. I am an alumnus of Prairie View A&M University, where I earned both a Bachelor of Business Administration and a Master of Arts in Counseling. My journey began at Parker Intermediate School, where I spent 12 years teaching 5th Grade Language Arts and Math. I then transitioned into counseling at Spence Elementary, serving as a Guidance Counselor for six years.

In the spring of 2018, I joined Victory Early College High School as the Academic Counselor. My role involves scheduling students for dual credit courses at Lone Star College Houston North, providing them with the opportunity to earn one of six different types of associate degrees. We emphasize that success is earned, not given—a principle our students understand well. Even if students do not achieve their desired associate degree, they will leave Victory with more than just a high school diploma. My counterpart at Lone Star and I strive to ensure they either complete their core requirements or accumulate valuable college credits. Your child’s education and academics are our top priority; everything else is secondary.

Summer Opportunities

This list is amazing… some deadlines are this fall for 80 free summer programs for high school students

Summer programs are a wonderful way to challenge yourself academically, socially, and emotionally while in high school. These programs often provide rigorous academic work along with a student body of highly talented peers. Furthermore, summer programs help students develop their interests, cultivate their passions, and prepare them for the transition to college.

Though there is a perception that these programs are unaffordable to most people, there are in fact dozens of free academic summer programs for high school students. The subjects range from arts to research to humanities. There is a program for every student regardless of race, income, socioeconomic status, gender, nationality, or residency. All programs include room, board, and transportation to and from the location unless otherwise specified. Some programs (particularly those in science research) will even give students stipends of more than $4,000 for the summer.
