At Communities In Schools® (CIS®), we surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life.
Empowering Success: How CIS Helps Students Define Their Own Paths
"That’s why what matters to us – what everyone at CIS is focused on – is that we ensure all our students have big dreams and high expectations for themselves, that we connect our students to the opportunities that can help them achieve their particular version of success, and that we support them every step of the way." -Aaron Mize, CEO of Communities In Schools of the Heart of Texas
