Cisco Lobo Early Achievement Program Students Launch into
New Opportunities
The Cisco Lobo Early Achievement Program (LEAP) is an early college opportunity, offered by Cisco Independent School District. The program provides students with the opportunity to earn an associate degree through Cisco College as part of their high school curriculum. Cisco ISD began the LEAP program in the fall of 2008. The program now has 27 students in grades 9-12. During the course of the fall semester, students earned a total of 172 college hours. Courses are delivered on both the Cisco High School and the Cisco College campus, through distance learning, and online. Students are also encouraged to take summer college courses and participate in various academic activities. Tomas Hernandez, a junior at Cisco High School, has been accepted past the first round of eliminations for the High School Aerospace Scholars program at NASA Johnson Space Center. During the spring of 2010, Tomas will be allowed to take a semester-long science course offered through the NASA program where he will attempt to complete the requirements to participate in the summer internship program where he will interact with engineers at the Johnson Space Center. Cisco ISD is proud of the accomplishments of the students in the LEAP program and extends its thanks to Cisco College for their partnership in educating the students at Cisco High School. For more information about the LEAP program at Cisco ISD contact Dr. Cassidy McBrayer, Director of Instruction at 254-442-3056.
