In HISD, we aim to ensure every student graduates ready to enter their chosen college or career.

At the middle school level, Project Explore provides college and career readiness planning support. At the high school level, every HISD school offers personalized college advising through our Ignite program for grades 9-11, our Launch program for seniors, and our Orbit program that helps graduates with their postsecondary transition.

The district also offers 16 different Career and Technical Education pathways, allowing students to graduate with industry-recognized certifications in high-growth, highdemand career fields. For more information, visit HoustonISD.org/ CollegeReadiness or HoustonISD.org/CareerReadiness.
