The San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD) is gearing up for another exciting and memorable season of graduation ceremonies for the Class of 2024. Spanning from May 31 to June 8, 2024, these ceremonies will mark a significant milestone for students across 18 schools within the district. As families, friends, and educators get ready for graduation season, it’s important to plan ahead to avoid traffic and crowded areas. Below is the list of schools, locations, and times for the events to help you make the necessary arrangements. SAISD also ensured that those who cannot attend in person can still share in the joy via livestream of each ceremony on SAISD website at SAISD.net.
In addition to celebrating the accomplishments of this year’s graduates, SAISD has announced an exciting new initiative in partnership with the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). Earlier this year, UTSA and SAISD unveiled a new pathway designed to provide high-achieving students from SAISD high schools with direct admission to UTSA as early as their junior year. This aims to streamline the transition to higher education for talented students, opening doors to advanced opportunities earlier in their academic careers.
Moreover, graduating seniors from SAISD have not been left out of these exciting opportunities. Many of these graduates who matriculate to UTSA will be eligible for the UTSA Bold Promise program. This program is designed to support eligible Texas residents from families with annual household incomes of $70,000 or less by covering 100% of UTSA’s tuition and mandatory fees.
The Bold Promise program plays a crucial role in removing financial barriers that often hinder students from pursuing and obtaining a college degree. By providing comprehensive financial aid, the program ensures that more students can focus on their studies and achieve their academic and career goals without the burden of significant tuition costs. This is extremely beneficial and more than deserving for the students of SAISD, as 75% percent of SAISD’s students come from families that are economically disadvantaged
With the recent turmoil SAISD has faced, the SAISD and UTSA partnership represents a forward-thinking approach to education, focusing on accessibility and support for all students and revitalizing SAISD. As the Class of 2024 prepares to take their next steps, these initiatives highlight the district’s commitment to fostering success and opportunity beyond high school.
As we celebrate the accomplishments of the Class of 2024, we also look forward to the bright futures that lie ahead for all SAISD students. Congratulations once again to all graduates, and best wishes as you embark on the next chapter of your lives!
