Welcome to the Academies of ISD!

The ISD Academies are personalized learning communities within each of our high schools guiding students toward success in their chosen career. Students choose their Academy based on the ten-year-plan they create as freshmen. Students are able to complete academy requirements within the regular school day, with the possible exception of some internships.

We plan to give students an advantage over their peers in many ways, offering 100 courses for college credit, creating job shadow and internship opportunities and preparing students for college and careers.

Career Academies have been shown to improve classroom engagement as students are seeing the relevance of what they’re learning and how it will apply to their chosen field. Career Academy students show higher attendance rates, better grades, and fewer discipline issues.

We ARE inspiring greatness.
