I hope you find this Enrollment Guide helpful as you navigate the many options we offer, and learn about our schools and programs designed to best meet the diverse needs of our students. We’re seeing strong academics across our District, and we recently were rated a B by the state. Here at SAISD, our goal is to develop lifelong learners who graduate feeling empowered and equipped to pursue their dreams. Pedro Martinez, Superintendent We have high expectations throughout our schools with programs to support our students from their start in full-day prekindergarten all the way through high school graduation. In addition, two alumni support coordinators continue the relationship with students through their first year in college to ensure they are supported and on track toward a college degree. SAISD offers a wide variety of offerings for students to pursue, including career exploration programs, dual language, advanced academics and the International Baccalaureate framework, as well as extensive athletics, fine arts and JROTC/LOTC opportunities. Non-boundary choices by application include magnet programs at the high schools, and a number of schools with diverse areas of focus and learning environments, including single-gender schools, early college high schools, and career-themed, industry-led schools. Along with traditional school models, we also offer academies with non-traditional grade ranges such as PK-8. This guide features details on each SAISD school, as well as information on our services to support students and families. I thank you for taking the time to review this guide and to learn more about what all SAISD has to offer.
