🎉 We celebrate advanced academics in public schools! 📚 🎓Students are prepared for college and can place out of college credits through AP courses and testing. ✏️ Courses are designed to provide students with more rigorous, in-depth, and accelerated learning experiences, often tailored for high-achieving or gifted students. 🌟The goal is to challenge students academically, encourage critical thinking, and prepare them for college and career success. 👉🏼 With dual credit courses, students can dive into college-level coursework early. They gain college credit hours, giving them a head start on college life. 🎊👏 That's a lot to celebrate! #CelebrateTexasPublicSchools

🎉✨The holidays are a time for reflection and celebration. 🎉✨ 📚 In public education, our mission is clear: educate every child. We build strong communities. 🤝 We create brighter futures. 🌟 And we do it together with our families. ❤️ We're grateful. #CelebrateTexasPublicSchools
