Birdville ISD’s Educational Planning Guide Is Now Available Online

Planning for High School and Graduation

Planning a four-year high school program is a serious undertaking. 

Although many of courses will be determined by the graduation requirements, BISD students still have many other choices to make during their years of school. The courses selected should be guided largely by the student’s plans for the future.  

  • Will they continue their education in college or in a technical school/college? 
  • Do they want to join the military? 
  • Do they want to learn a career skill in order to enter the work force full-time immediately after school? 
  • Are they thinking of entering a profession that requires many years of specialized education? 

The answers to these questions are extremely important when making decisions about a student’s course selections for high school. 

Birdville ISD created the Educational Planning Guide to assist families/students in the selection of high school courses. The Educational Planning Guide is now available online!
