Preparing to Achieve the American Dream

South Houston High School

Aerospace, medical, energy and maritime trade: the Houston area economy has opportunities that pay well and offer an on-ramp to the American Dream. But how do young people prepare themselves for such skill-intensive pursuits, especially when money and other factors put college or technical training out of reach? Students at Pasadena ISD have access to early-college and career-and-technology programs that can prime them for Houston’s unique mix of opportunities.

Produced by Destiny Vera, Marco Gatica, Lizeth Gomez, Melissa Lopez, Ruth Romero, and Litzy Rodriguez at South Houston High School in Houston, Texas. Instruction provided by SRL Connected Educator Mark Halvorsen and Scott Cundiff.
