Is your student puzzled about navigating life after high school?

The College & Career center is open Monday-Friday from 7:00am-3:00pm and is located in the courtyard directly next to the Bookstore.

We are excited to offer students assistance with college, career, and military exploration.

Our goal is to provide assistance with completing college and scholarship applications, SAT & ACT Exam registration, understanding and applying for financial aid FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and TAFSA (Texas Application for State Financial Aid), requesting transcripts, and applying fee waivers for those that are eligible. We encourage all students to visit the center at least once a nine weeks. Please encourage your student to visit as often as possible for assistance and guidance. We look forward to meeting and working with all 10th, 11th, and 12th graders throughout the school year.

Hastings Advanced Academics welcomes you to the new school year! We are dedicated to your student's academic success and preparing them for college by developing skills in their classes.

We are off to a strong start and registration is open for all Advanced Placement (AP) exams for courses in which students are enrolled. Alief covers the cost for these exams and students who a score of 3 or higher will earn college credit, accepted at schools nationwide - including all public universities in Texas! Although exams do not take place until May, students are making College Board accounts and registering now so they can access resources online and boost their learning. Students who test will confirm registration of exams by October 31.

Hastings' AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) is an elective class built into a student's school day schedule designed to increase the number of students who enroll and succeed in higher education and in their lives beyond high school. As campus academic leaders, we look forward to bringing awareness and information to all students to make the path to college more accessible and less intimidating! If you are interested in applying for AVID, contact Adrienne Redmon at adrienne.redmon@aliefisd.net

Welcome Back Hastings Families!

We strive to continue to build the bridge between our families, communities, and staff by providing FREE ADULT CLASSES, which include but are not limited to ESL, Citizenship, GED Prep, Nutrition, Active Parenting of Teens, Technology, and so much more. As well as providing resources available to our families and communities. I look forward to seeing new and established faces at our Family Center Grand Opening on September 8th, at the Hastings Family Center Classroom #123C at 9:00 AM. Join us for refreshments, snacks, guest speakers, and fun activities!

Parents, it is important for students to understand the importance of high school. Once you get to high school everything counts.

• Your courses earn credits - Starting in 9th grade, the courses your child takes, the grades and credits earned, and test scores will become part of your child's permanent record.
• Attendance Matters- Attendance is important for your child's success in school. When your child is absent, please submit a note to excuse the absence within 3 school days to the Attendance Office.
• Grade Point Average - Students grades will be used to calculate your child's high school GPA. GPA is important because colleges use it to determine eligibility for financial aid programs, scholarships and other support.

• Be prepared for class.
• Complete assignments thoroughly and in a timely manner.
• Review notes daily.
• Set aside quiet time to study each day.
• Stay committed and do your best.
• Students may attend tutorials.

Respect is our character trait for the month. Seeing value in all people and things and treating them with care.
