Notice to Parents/Guardians of Students in Grades 9 and Above

Dear Parents/Guardians,

In our ongoing commitment to your child’s academic and career success, Midland ISD is pleased to inform you about several key opportunities available to our high school students. These programs are designed to support your child’s educational journey and prepare them for future success.

College Credit Programs: Through partnerships with accredited institutions, Midland ISD provides opportunities for students to earn college credits while still in high school. These programs are designed to enhance academic achievement and ease the transition to higher education, helping students get a head start on their college journey.

Career and Technology Education (CTE) Programs: Our district offers a diverse range of CTE programs that equip students with the skills needed for success in high-demand industries. These programs combine rigorous academic coursework with hands-on experience, ensuring students gain both technical expertise and critical thinking skills.

Dual Credit Courses:  Students at Midland ISD can also take advantage of dual credit courses, which allow them to earn both high school and college credits simultaneously. Dual credit courses are available for both college transfer and CTE programs. Students may enroll in dual credit courses at no cost if they:

  • Are enrolled in a Midland ISD high school (grades 9-12),

  • Are participating in a dual credit course at a partnering institution of higher education, and

  • Were educationally disadvantaged at any time during the four school years preceding their enrollment in the dual credit course.

Midland ISD covers tuition for students enrolled in CTE Dual Credit Courses.

Work-Based Education Programs: In collaboration with local businesses and organizations, Midland ISD offers work-based learning experiences that provide students with real-world skills and insights into various professions. These programs are designed to enhance students’ readiness for their future careers.

Subsidies for Exam Fees: Midland ISD offers financial assistance for certain exam fees, including those required for college admissions(TSIA2, ACT or SAT School Day), Advanced Placement (AP), and industry based certification exams(IBCs). These subsidies are intended to reduce financial barriers and ensure that all students have equitable access to these important assessments.

For more detailed information on eligibility criteria, enrollment processes, and available financial assistance for programs listed here, please contact your school counselor. 

Thank you for your continued partnership in your child's educational journey.
