College & Career Readiness
Hays CISD is committed to preparing all students to graduate college, career and life ready!
Hays Consolidated ISD is focused on ensuring that our students are prepared for a changing and increasingly complex future. (TEA & THECB: Texas College Readiness Standards, 79th Texas Legislature, HB 1-the “Advancement of College Readiness in Curriculum.” Section 28.008 of the Texas Education Code).
The intricate collaboration among the Departments of Guidance and Counseling, Advanced Academics, Career and Technical Education (CTE), under the Division of Curriculum and Instruction is key to exceeding our CCMR goals. The first component of the Hays CISD Learner Profile is that learners will be academically prepared for college, career, and life!
We are focused on ensuring that ALL of our students are prepared for a changing and increasingly complex future; to cultivate the knowledge, skills, mindset of a lifelong learner in order to achieve high levels of success while in high school and postsecondary readiness.
AT THE HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS LEVEL: each High School College & Career Counselor leads the way and works in collaboration with academic Counselors, Path Advisors, Career and Technical Education (CTE), Advanced Academics, and all other partner organizations and college access programs to create and promote a college-bound culture across all campuses.
