Your One Stop Shop
Transition season is upon us! Please take a look at upcoming dates, information, and the amazing opportunities that are in store for your student. Your Texan counselors will be visiting elementary campuses, going into classes to discuss course selections for next year, and even visiting our High School feeder campuses.
In addition, NISD has several Magnet Schools that explore various career fields your rising 9th grader may want to pursue. Our Magnet School programs provide hands-on learning, real time work experience, and even provide certifications upon graduation. Why wait? The future starts now!
WE WILL CONTINUOUSLY BE UPDATING AS NEW INFORMATION AND DATES ARE PROVIDED
