Summer 2023
Letter from the Principal
Congratulations to the Class of 2023! These students were locked down during the second half of 9th grade, spent most or all of 10th grade online, and had to relearn school & socialization during 11th grade. To say they haven't had a "typical" high school experience would be an understatement.
Our senior class at Clifton is small this year - the majority of these students were recruited during Spring and Summer 2020 - but we are so proud of all they've accomplished and all they will do in the future.
Out of 48 seniors in a Clifton CTE program this year
- 38 will cross the stage with both a Clifton cord AND a CTE completer cord - this means they have completed at least 3 classes and 4 credits in a Career Tech Program of Study
- 22 students are planning to pursue post-secondary education - this includes courses at ACC, a 4-year college, trade school, or an 18+ program within Austin ISD
- 9 students are planning to work full time
- 14 students are planning to combine work and post-secondary education
- 2 students are planning to pursue military careers
Our hope is to follow up with these students in six months and one year to see how their post-secondary plans have evolved.
We hope that everyone has a restful summer, and we look forward to welcoming back our returning Clifton students on August 14!
