College Career and Military Readiness (CCMR) is about preparing students for life after graduation. It is made up of curriculum, resources, programs and activities that help students have the tools they need to enter college or the workforce and begin a career. CCMR is integrated into the everyday culture of our district and is supported by state guidelines, partnerships with higher education organizations and businesses.

CCMR is important from elementary to graduation. Our academics are structured around giving students a well-rounded educational foundation for specialized learning later in life. We also provide opportunities like choice schools, career & technical education, dual credit, advanced placement, and international bacalaurette courses for students to start their exploration early.

Helping students to discover and plan for their future is part of daily life across the district through our:

• Challenging curriculum
• Informative resources and tools
• Supportive staff
• Events and activities that jumpstart planning such as College Night and career days
• College testing paid for by the district (TSIA2, PSAT, SAT, IB and AP tests)

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has defined a set of indicators that students can earn to be considered college, career or military ready.

Students who meet one of these CCMR indicators are considered "CCMR-met" and receive a CCMR cord for graduation.
