Preparing for the Future: College, Career, and Military Readiness in GPISD
As students approach the transition from high school, it's essential to be well-prepared for the various pathways that lie ahead, whether it's college, career, or military service. Graduation is an important milestone, but it's just the beginning. Are graduates ready for what lies ahead?

Why is CCMR so important?
College Readiness: Nurturing Academic Excellence
When students access and are successful in collegiate level work in high school, their chances of enrolling, persisting, and attaining a college degree increases substantially. A college degree can make a substantial difference in lifetime earnings.
Additionally, the credits that students earn in high school can save significant amounts of college tuition.
-
Career Readiness: Empowering Students for the World of Work
When students graduate with industry level certifications, they distinguish themselves among other applicants and increase employment chances.
Additionally, students with these certifications are able to move past entry level positions and work higher in their organization. This has positive impacts on lifetime earnings and promotional opportunities. -
Military Readiness: Honoring Service and Commitment
With a deep respect for those who choose to serve, we aim to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to pursue a military career successfully.
Joining the military opens up additional education, compensation, and training benefits. Additionally, students in JROTC programs may earn the ability to enter the military at a higher rank.

How is readiness measured?
Readiness is grouped into three categories:
- College
- Career
- Military
Each of these areas have specific criteria that indicate that a student is well prepared for life.
How does GPISD support each area?
