THE IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNITY SERVICE..in the words of AVID I students

Our AVID 1 students were each asked to do five hours of community service. Here's what they had to say when they were done (quotes from student reflections)...

Way to go boys wrestling!

Crockett is unbeaten in wrestling duels at 4-0 in our district 5A. Alan Lopez is 8-3 , James Hudson is 5-2 both are leading the boys team. Senior Adam Wentzel finished a strong 2-0 at the Crockett quads sat, pinning both of his opponents to spark the team to victory.

FAFSA Priority Deadline: January 15th

The state of Texas has set January 15th as the priority filing deadline for financial aid. This means students must submit their FAFSA or TASFA by January 15th to be eligible for certain state grant funds. All seniors considering college or trade school next fall need to apply for financial aid now! You can find the FAFSA online at https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/fafsa. The College & Career Center will be open on Tuesday, January 14th for FAFSA help. If you would like assistance applying for financial aid, please schedule an appointment online: https://calendly.com/crockettccc/fafsa-assistance.

Student IDs

As a reminder, student IDs are expected to be on and visible at all times. If you student has lost or misplaced their ID, they can purchase a new one in the main office before or after school for $5.


We appreciate your support with encouraging your student to have their ID at school daily as we strive to keep our campus safe.


Students who regularly do not have their IDs will be assigned discipline consequences.

Cell Phone Policy

At Crockett Early College High School, we support our Core Value of “Engagement” through the Collective Commitment of “Away for the Day” regarding Cell Phones and Headphones. This is in line with the AISD District Policy FNCE.


Students are allowed to possess a cell phone. However, cell phones should not be used in classrooms or hallways during instructional time. Students who need a device for instruction should use their charged, district-issued Chromebook or other approved device.

Students who are non-compliant with this policy in classrooms and hallways during school hours will have their cell phones and other devices confiscated by an administrator. If confiscated, it will not be returned until 48 hours have passed and a $15.00 fee will be administered, as allowed by Texas Education Code 37.082. Crockett High School is not responsible for phones or other electronic devices if they are stolen or damaged while on school property. For emergency contact with family, landline telephones are available to students in school offices.


Thank you for supporting student engagement in instruction at Crockett ECHS.
