The EOC Academic Enrichment Summer Institutes will be held at MHS-9, MHS and Wilson starting June 7-25.

The Institute will be held Monday through Thursday each week. The assessment window for 9, 10, 11 and 12th grade students needing to retake a STAAR/EOC test is June 22– 25.

Each school site will be a host campus for their summer program. Students will attend classes from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday – Thursday. Transportation and food services will be provided for students in all programs at all grade levels.

Counselors or designee on each campus will pre-register elementary, middle and high school students required to attend the summer instruction program.
