College, Career and Military Readiness
Page Navigation
-
Crowley ISD is dedicated to preparing students for life beyond high school. To help our students and families understand what it takes to become college, career and military ready, we have gathered resources for students of all ages on this page, including information on college admission, financial aid, and exam preparation.
In CISD, every campus has a focus on college and career preparation and the district intentionally focuses on students graduating ready to be placed in a career or college. In elementary the journey begins with exploration and experiences in STEM+. In middle school the focus continues with a STEM+ focus but students are able to select a career pathway to begin and take the PSAT to guide the college readiness journey. High school continues with a focus on college readiness and career pathway experience.
Students have access to preparation materials for SAT/ACT and Advanced Placement. The district offers different types of opportunities to gain college credit during high school through dual credit, UT OnRamps, and Advanced Placement courses. See links for more detailed information on the Crowley journey and resources.
