DECEMBER ACADEMY HIGHLIGHTS

We had 9 candidates with us at the December academy. We have several students that have completed their trial period and their application and will be interviewing them soon.

 

Please do your part to encourage candidates to complete their application.

 

It was in December that we were informed that all of our Seniors have passed their TAKS test. Congratulations!

 

December wrapped up our final Saturday Academy of the year and our last Discover Session for the 05-06 school year. UB students use Discover online to explore careers and educational interests. We will resume Discover next Fall. However, students may login to Discover on their own and at anytime throughout the year including the summer.
