Many thanks to Mr. Garcia for stepping in for Ms. Salazar today. Also thank you to Rob Story who gave a basic presentation on Blend for our parents. Thank you to our other participants Sarah Greenwood, A+1 Federal Credit Union, and Sara Balkanli, CIS (Communities in Schools). Last by not least my wonderful volunteers Mrs. Tofoya, Hilda Reyes, Trudy Richards, and Maureen Gerlofs for helping me pull off the Coffee with the Principal today.

Akins is in its second year of its Dual Language Program. Students in the DL Program come from any of the 7 academies at Akins Early College High School. The purpose of this program is to offer non-native & native Spanish speaking students opportunities to learn the course subject in the academic Spanish language. For example, in the DL World Geography course, students would learn vocabulary, continents, countries & cultures all in Spanish. In a DL geometry class, students would learn all the mathematic terms/vocabulary in Spanish. (Click on the right side link in order to learn more information about Austin ISD's DL language program K-12.)

The link above provides information about the 2020-2021 Course Selections for each Academy's pathways, including endorsements. Each student must graduate with an endorsement at the end of 4 years. (An endorsement is a series of Career & Technology Education courses.)

Starting in the 2019-2020 school year, Akins High School will become an Early College High School. Participating students get the opportunity to earned an Associate Degree in General Studies before they graduate from High School. (Click above for more information.)
