About Us

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, Logistics and Global Supply Chain Management, and Education Professions.
