The importance of post-secondary education has increased significantly and having marketable skills and some type of preparation is pivotal to your success. Future economic stability and career opportunities are driven by the careful action plans that begin early on in high school.

 

Victoria Independent School District, in partnership with Victoria College, is committed to the individual success of all our students and their post-graduation plans. Victoria East and Victoria West both have a Career & College Center to assist with these plans. Our center is eager to provide help with both academic and non-academic pathways through a variety of services.

 
*Some services and events may be altered due to the Texas Governor's state mandate about the Covid-19 virus pandemic.*

Dual Credit Enrollment is an educational program, available through the partnership between VISD and the Victoria College, designed to enable high school students to enroll in college courses and receive both college and high school credits for the same course. Dual Credit Enrollment is a great way for high school students to get a jump start on their college education.

  • GenTX Victoria, a part of the statewide Generation TX movement, is a community-wide collaboration aimed at encouraging an entire generation of Texans to pursue education or training after high school. Throughout the school year, the Career and College Center will have various field trips and events available to students and parents that focus on career opportunities, colleges and universities, financial aid (FASFA) and College Applications.
 
  • We invite students, parents, educators, businesses, and community leaders to become part of the movement and to support this generation of Texas students. The first step to getting involved with Generation TX is simply to believe in us—believe that we can change the future of Texas.
