Our LEAD Academy students recently visited Tyler Junior College as part of our ongoing effort to increase college awareness, access, and postsecondary planning. 🎓
When students can step onto a college campus, see themselves there, and experience it up close, college starts to feel real. And when they can see it, they can start to believe it is for them.
These moments help turn possibilities into plans and big dreams into real goals.

There is no school tomorrow, Friday, April 3, in observance of Good Friday. 🗓️ We also want to share an important update about next week. Monday, April 6, will now be a regular school day for students. This day was first planned as a staff development day but has been changed to make up for lost learning time during January’s ice storm. We appreciate your flexibility. Thank you for your support.
