Next Steps

• Each student will meet with their high school

counselor during the ninth grade year to review their Endorsement and Texas Achievement Plan.

• Students will then meet with their counselor on a

yearly basis and as needed.

• Although students must choose one Endorsement,

students may actually earn more than one. Counselors will discuss this with students.
