STISD Half-Day Programs
Through the STISD Half-Day Programs, students with special needs can take the majority of their academic classes at their home high schools and take a combination of Career & Technical Education (CTE) and academic courses at STISD for up to 4 credits per year.
The purpose of the Half-Day Programs is to teach students in a real work environment so they gain a marketable edge in the workforce. Further, students gain the confidence they need to continue their education after high school. Graduates of the program have solid technical and social skills.
Students have the opportunity to compete in academic extracurricular organizations such as HOSA-Future Health Professionals and Skills USA.
