Our students.

Our students here in Irving ISD are college bound and career ready because of the Career and Technical Education that is provided to them. We offer a rigorous curriculum that will prepare them for a lifetime of success.  They have a choice of being a part of 16 different Career Clusters that offer industry ready software and experiences.  In our Arts AV Cluster, our students have the choice of Graphic Design and Audio Video Production, which offers multiple levels of advancement.  In these classes, the student’s work on the latest Adobe software provided on Apple iMac computers.  They are responsible for a newscast that streamlines to the entire school and a design enterprise that provides graphic design services across the district.

 

What is an advisory board?

The main purpose of an advisory board is to strengthen Irving ISD’s Signature Programs by making recommendations for program improvements and the technical aspects of Arts AV to assure the most up-to-date curriculum content and applications of are being provided to our students.  Our advisory board members will help us keep track of what is new in the industry so that we can better prepare our students to enter the workforce.  You would provide feedback on what students need in order to be prepared for entry level positions, updates on the software, and new certifications the students should be obtaining.  We would meet as a committee 4 times during this school year to discuss these things that will help prepare our students.
