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 Board Vision is that all Hays CISD learners will be well prepared for college, career, or military.
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.
College & Career Counselors lead the effort to build and promote a college-bound culture by working closely with academic counselors, Path Advisors, CTE, Advanced Academics, and all partner organizations and college access programs.
