How was your Early College experience?
I am so grateful and honored to have been a part of PSJA ISD. Having moved from Corpus Christi, I am able to compare the resources and support that have been available to me. It definitely makes me appreciate the gifts and opportunities I have been given at PSJA ISD.

What has Early College done for you?
The PSJA Early College Program has provided me with a valuable education and a solid foundation that has prepared me for college. The resources available to me made it possible for me to complete two years of college and even earn an associate degree. Being granted the opportunity to start my college education at the age of 13, I have been able to go above the standard of an average high school student and have been pushed to become the best student I can be.

What would be your message for underclassmen?
Stay focused, enjoy high school, and take advantage of all the resources that are available to you. Give your 100% at all times, and there is no limit to what you can achieve.
