Our Goals for New High School Students
The vast majority of college preparatory focus is on high school students, but research suggests that middle school can have a dramatic impact on high school and college performance. In fact, a study by ACT College Readiness found that middle school engagement is the strongest predictor of high school and even college success. By focusing on the transition from middle school to high school, we will improve student outcomes across a broader range of time.
High School Transition Resources
Events Supporting the High School Transition
Chamber of Commerce Career Connections (C4)
Join the Tyler Area Chamber of Commerce and Business Education Council each year as we bring over 75 local business leaders together to discuss career opportunities with East Texas students. The day-long, relaxed discussion format is designed to introduce or continue career exploration for local students.
Tyler Area College Fair
The earlier a student has a plan, the better prepared they will be. The Tyler Area College Fair helps students learn about postsecondary education opportunities and requirements so they can continue on the path to a productive career.
#SchoolisCool
#SchoolisCool helps students get the resources they need for a successful school year. From backpacks to #2 pencils, we strive to ensure Smith County students’ present circumstances don’t affect their future prospects.
