Mission: Hays CISD is dedicated to preparing students to be bilingual, biliterate, and bicultural through our Dual Language Immersion and ESL programs.

Goals:

• Achieve academic proficiency in all subjects, meeting or exceeding expectations. 
• Enable students to maintain skills in their primary languages as well as develop skills in their secondary language, thus enabling them to function fully in the general academic program and in future occupational opportunities. 
• Provide opportunities to develop and identify with their cultural heritage as well as cultivating an understanding of other cultures, thereby developing a positive attitude toward fellow students, their families, and their communities.
• Become bilingual/biliterate members of the community as well as life long learners.
