Counselors will meet with students to review their endorsements and future course selection in the spring of each year. Please plan on reviewing the documents below as well as attending the preview night to help with these decisions.
Charger Course Selection Preview Night will be held on Monday, January 29, 2018 at Fulshear HS from 6:00pm-7:30pm. There will be two grade level parent/student presentations in the auditorium to go over graduation requirements and the course selection process. Incoming 8th and current 9th grade families should attend the presentation from 6:15-6:45pm and current 10th and 11th grade families should attend from 7:00-7:30pm. Representatives from various course pathways will be set up in the cafeteria to help answer any questions you may have about their class offerings. We strongly encourage attendance to speak with teachers and students of our programs to help in the decision-making process.

There are 5 Endorsements available for students to choose from in the state of Texas: Arts & Humanities, Business & Industry, Public Service, STEM, and Multidisciplinary. Within each endorsement LCISD offers different pathway course streams to allow students to specialize in their area of interest in preparation for their post-secondary plans.
Below you will find the endorsements along with a list of the pathways we offer in LCISD. We have also pulled the course descriptions from the Course Selection Guide for you as an easy reference when looking at the pathways. A link to this document can be found below each picture.
