Beginning in the 2000-2001 school year, Crosby junior and senior high school students interested in the field of cosmetology could enroll in classes offered by Lee College in Crosby at no cost to them whatsoever. The class expenses are covered by the Crosby school district's vocational educational budget. About 12 students have graduated from the course already. As of Spring 2001, there are 16 students enrolled in the cosmetology course at Crosby. Seven of those are transfers from San Jacinto College, who will go to the state board in May to receive their licenses.
Classes are available during the day and at night.
Our clientele is flourishing, the students are getting quality education in a professional environment and the community is being served. It is a real plus for Crosby. Barrett-Griffith said she wants to do more then just teach basic cosmetology to her students. They will need more than just a license once they graduate. If they are equipped with knowledge about new technology, the proper skills and attitude, it can carry them farther than they imagined.
