Preparing Students for College, Career, and Beyond

SBISD’s T-2-4 vision ensures that Every Child is prepared for life after high school, whether through higher education, a career, or military service. The district’s Early College program allows students to earn college credits while still in high school, minimizing tuition costs and giving them a head start on their postsecondary education.

Additionally, SBISD’s Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs equip students with industry-recognized certifications in high-demand fields such as healthcare, technology, and business, preparing them for both career success and further education.
