Program of Studies

Welcome to our Program of Studies page! Under this section, you will find a list of the program of studies that Palacios ISD offers with certification.

What is a Program of Study?
Perkins V describes a program of study as a coordinated, non-duplicative sequence of academic and technical content at the secondary and postsecondary level that:

• Incorporates challenging state academic standards
• Addresses academic, technical, and employability skills
• Aligns with the needs of industries in the state, regional, and/or local economy
• Progresses in specificity, beginning with all aspects of the industry and leading to more occupation-specific instruction
• Has multiple entry and exit points that incorporate credentialing
• Culminates in the attainment of a recognized postsecondary credential

Please contact Jared Duncum if you have any questions in regards to the Program of Studies.
