The mission of the Waxahachie Independent School District is to develop through a cooperative effort with home and community, well educated, responsible citizens who can excel in a complex world.

 
 
 

A Choice! Students will be asked to consider their interests and aptitudes and then choose a tentative Career Pathway in the 9th grade.  A Career Pathway selection helps students focus on academics and technology in subject areas which meet their needs.

Thus, as a student anticipates his four year high school program, he becomes aware of his opportunities to prepare for college, technical school and the world of work.

A Focus!

Frame work for a clear direction to a goal after graduation.

Ongoing transition from high school to college, technical school and work.

Careful planning for a career by student, parent and counselor.

Use of a road map to the future which can be redrawn as necessary.

Set of skills for lifelong learning and entry into the world of work.

Today! Waxahachie Independent School District has made available a Career Pathways section in their course description booklet to help students.  Six major Career Pathways are offered at WHS.
