Qué gran oportunidad para nuestros estudiantes.
Hereford ISD’s Migrant Education Program is taking 19 students to Austin to participate in the Close-Up Austin/Texas Academy Program . This Academy aims to build students’ sense of connection to the rights and responsibilities of citizens.
Over the course of three days, students will learn about Texas’s history, undertake a hands-on examination of the structure and functions of Texas state government, and visit a university campus.
Throughout the program, students will gain a greater understanding of effective citizenship in a democracy and if the impact that the state government has on their lives.
