In response to this call to action, Clear Creek Independent School District, in partnership with our business, educational and scientific community, has come together to propose a new high school instructional model to serve the student who is motivated and capable of college-level coursework.

The purpose of this new high school instructional model is to meet the needs of highly-capable, at-risk, and/or gifted and talented learners. Many of these students will be first-generation college graduates.

Students will have educational opportunities to optimize student choice through advanced course work, community partnerships, field experiences, and service learning. Students will have opportunities for early graduation and coursework leading to an Associate’s degree.
