Goose Creek CISD is
also launching three col-
lege and career academies
in the fall, focusing on one
high-demand career field
and linked to the new HB
5 endorsements. These
academies will provide
opportunities for students,
who already have a strong
connection to a career path,
to learn in the context of
a particular career theme
and work in a small cohort
group with students who
share similar interests.
Students will be exposed
to a variety of careers, in-
dustry skills, and potential
employers with the oppor-
tunity to earn certifications.
A team of teachers will
work in collaboration to
provide experiences and
assignments for the acad-
emy students based on re-
al-world activities. Core
and elective teachers will
provide an integrated ap-
proach to their subjects and
across-the-curriculum proj-
ects.
Additionally, post sec-
ondary and career-based
activities, such as job shad-
owing and field trips, are
planned for academy stu-
dents.
All three academies will
offer dual credit opportu-
nities through GCCISD’s
partnership with Lee Col-
lege. All high schools will
continue to offer the same
programs of study and
classes, but incoming fresh-
men students also have the
opportunity to apply to the
academy offered on their
high school campus. The
deadline for eighth grade
applications for the acade-
mies is Friday, Feb 14.
Goose Creek Memorial
High School will house the
Global Business, Logistics,
and Tourism Academy.
Students will be exposed
to career pathways in ac-
counting, global business
management, finance, hos-
pitality and tourism logis-
tics.
Robert E. Lee High
School will offer the Sci-
ence, Technology, Engi-
neering, and Mathematics
Academy. Students who
attend the STEM Academy
will pursue career pathways
in engineering, process
technology, instrumenta-
tion, and other STEM-re-
lated fields.
Ross S. Sterling High
School will provide the
Health Science Academy.
Students in this academy
will pursue career path-
ways in pre-medicine, nurs-
ing, sports medicine, phar-
macy technician, and other
health-related fields.
“Goose Creek CISD is
providing numerous op-
portunities for eighth grade
students and their parents
to obtain infonnation about
the proposed graduation
plans and endorsements,
