Legacy Education Inc, a leading provider of career education healthcare programs, announced its expansion into Texas with a new Central Coast College campus in Houston. The Company has signed a lease for an approximately 28,000-square-foot facility located at 10496 Katy Freeway, with plans to open during the Company's second fiscal quarter of 2027.
The Houston campus will mark Legacy Education's entry into the Texas market and extend the Central Coast College brand beyond its longtime home in Salinas, California. Founded in 1983, Central Coast College provides career-focused education in allied health, nursing, veterinary and other healthcare-related fields.
The new Houston location will offer a range of career training programs like those currently offered at Central Coast College in Salinas, subject to applicable regulatory and accrediting approvals.
"Houston stood out as a natural market for Legacy Education's continued expansion to support the growing demand for healthcare workers," said Joe Bartolome, Senior Vice President of Operations for Legacy Education. "The size and diversity of the region, combined with its strong healthcare sector, make it an exciting opportunity for us to bring the Central Coast College model to Texas. This 28,000-square-foot campus gives us the space to create a modern, hands-on learning environment and establish a foundation for future growth in the market."
"Expanding into Houston represents an important milestone for Legacy Education," said LeeAnn Rohmann, Chief Executive Officer of Legacy Education. "For more than four decades, Central Coast College has helped students build skills for meaningful careers. Bringing that same commitment to Houston allows us to expand our impact while continuing our mission of providing educational opportunities that meet the needs of students, employers and the communities we serve."
