It is an honor given by CISD in recognition of our students who choose to go beyond academic requirements and give back to the community. Students who complete the requirements for Success Scholar by senior year receive a medallion to wear at their graduation ceremony.

  12. NAVIANCE • NAVIANCE is a web-based program that students will use throughout high school for college and career planning, organizational help, communication system, resume builder, and logging community service hours. • NAVIANCE will provide students with opportunities to take personality and career interest inventories. • NAVIANCE has a Resume Builder that students can use to keep track of their activities – essential for college applications! • More information to come in Fall of 9th grade!

  13. Graduation Plans for Class of 2018 and beyond

  15. Foundation Plan with Endorsement • English I, II, and III and Advanced English • Math: Algebra I, Geometry, additional math credit, and 4th math credit • Science: Biology, IPC or other science, 3rd science, and 4th science • Social Studies: World Geography OR World History, US History, US Government and US Economics (3 required, 4 strongly encouraged)

  16. Foundation Plan with Endorsement • Physical Education or Substitution (1) • Health (.5) • Language Other than English/World Language: any two levels in the same language OR Computer Science (2) • Fine arts (1) • One or more Endorsements with 4 credits in each • Electives (2.5) • Total credits: 26

  17. Distinguished Level of Achievement (DLA) • English I, II, III, and Advanced English • Math: Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, 4th math • Science: Biology, IPC or Other Science, 3rd science, and 4th science • Social Studies: World Geography OR World History, US History, US Government, Economics (3 credits required, 4 strongly encouraged)

  18. Distinguished Level of Achievement (DLA) • Physical Education (1) • Health (.5) • Language Other than English/World Language or 2 credits in Computer Science (2) • Fine Arts (1) • Electives (2.5) • Endorsement (4) • Total credits: 26

  19. Distinguished Level of Achievement (DLA) • All students in CISD start high school on the Distinguished Level of Achievement plan. • The DLA plan provides the most post-secondary education opportunities. • A student must earn Distinguished Level of Achievement to be eligible for Top 10% automatic admission in Texas public universities. • Distinguished plan is what colleges and universities want to see on a high school transcript (academic achievement record). • Students may change plans no sooner than the end of the sophomore year.

  20. Endorsement Options • STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) • Public Services • Arts and Humanities • Business and Industries • Multi-Disciplinary (college preparatory coursework)

  21.
