ASP - Academic Success Program Rm. 105

About ASP

Housed within the high school, the Academic Success Program is hired directly by school districts to provide professional comprehensive college counseling to high school students in 9th through 12th grades. Throughout its 20 year history, ASP has been recognized both nationally and statewide as a top program in education by the National College Access Network, National Education Association, the National Education Board in Washington, D.C., the Texas Education Agency, and the Texas Association of School Administrators. While these are impressive achievements, ASP’s focus is to do more than help students gain admission and scholarships to attend college; the ultimate goal of ASP is to change students’ lives and their communities.
