Insurance students from Hastings High School and Taylor High School are the first in Texas to pass the Personal Auto Insurance Certification sponsored by the National Alliance for Insurance Education & Research.
The first student ever to certify in Texas to pass was Tommy Le from Taylor High School. Other Taylor students who are certified are: Efeomo Ehumuh, Kiaria Falls, Austen LeFleur and Christian Vanegas
Hastings had seven students certify: Maties Honeycutt, Sandra Martinez, Lizbeht Menjivar, Kha Ngo, Noemi Perez, Andrew Tran and Maria Zayas.
Students enrolled in Insurance Operations will take a series of five certifications over the course of three semesters and earn their Customer Insurance Service Representative (CISR) designation. In the fourth semester, students will enroll in Practicum in Business Management and work in an insurance company earning $14+/hour as a CISR. The CISR Designation is a critical area in the insurance field, and this is the first step for anyone who wants to work in insurance.
