Austin ISD, in partnership with the Austin Chamber of Commerce, invites our high school seniors to participate in the 2020-21 FAFSA Social Media Contest. The goal is to encourage FAFSA submissions and help students qualify for college scholarships.
High school seniors who participate will have an opportunity to win a $2,500 scholarship from the Austin Chamber of Commerce.
In 2021, Austin ISD underwent a facility condition assessment (FCA) and educational suitability assessment (ESA) process as part of its long-range planning. The results of the 2021 assessments—along with other data, community input and planning strategies—were used to support the development of the AISD Long-range Plan and 2022 Bond program.
Regardless of how old you are, the best thing that you can do in an emergency is stay calm and listen to those in authority. Follow instructions from your teachers or first responders and do exactly as they’ve asked. It’s important to take drills seriously and report any security concerns to school administrators. If you see something, say something! If you see a social media post which is unsettling to you, or hear an alarming statement made by another student, report it immediately.
Austin ISD is committed to the safety and security of all students, staff and visitors. A District Wide Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) is in place and reviewed annually. Campuses conduct various emergency drills such as fire drills, severe weather drills and intruder drills throughout the school year to prepare students and staff for an emergency. All campus employees and administrators have received Critical Incident Training that is updated yearly.
The more we drill and practice how to respond to an event, the better prepared we will be in an actual emergency. Drills create muscle memory, which can be life saving in a crisis situation by allowing people to react quickly and rely on their training, and not have to think about what to do. Drilling also allows us to see what works well and how to make plans even more effective.
To ensure the safety and well-being of students, staff, and the community during various types of emergencies and crises. This mission encompasses a range of activities and strategies aimed at preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation.

As part of the district’s 2017 Bond Program, Eastside Memorial Early College High School and International High School—both currently located at the Johnston Campus—will soon move to a new permanent site.
On Thursday, trustees will consider whether to officially approve the new name proposed by the school’s campus advisory council: Eastside Early College High School.
During College and Career Week, April 26-29, seniors and families will get access to important information as the Class of 2021 prepares to leave high school and enter college, careers or the military.
