Youth Watch is a comprehensive strategy designed to help link former HISD students with a campus to complete their requirements for graduation. HISD is a district of choice, providing a diverse portfolio of educational options. Students may choose from strong neighborhood schools, magnet and specialized programs, or career and technical academies. Through the district’s non-traditional school options, HISD addresses the needs of students who wish to complete graduation requirements online, attend school during nontraditional hours, or recover credits to graduate.

• Virtual Schools: HISD offers several options to students who wish to complete courses online.
• Momentum Academy: Is it difficult for you to attend school during the regular day? If so, HISD’s Momentum Academy might be for you!
• Grad Labs: Located in every large, traditional high school in HISD, Grad Labs help struggling students receive supplemental learning opportunities through online coursework and tutoring on state tests and college entrance exams.
• High School Ahead Academy 
• Middle College High School at HCC Felix Fraga 
• Middle College High School at HCC Gulfton 

Youth Watch is a program designed to help promote and prevent dropouts throughout the year and to complement ongoing campus efforts to increase the graduation rate of HISD students. Won’t you join our Youth Watch effort and make a difference in a youth’s life?
