School Notes
- Travis Education Center (TEC) High School serves as the alternative education high school for the Travis Unified School District and is proud to be recognized as a Model Continuation High School in California. TEC primarily supports students seeking to remediate credit deficiencies that hinder timely graduation from the district's traditional high school. However, TEC has evolved into a school of choice for many TUSD students who prefer a smaller learning environment, benefit from a traumasensitive and trauma-invested staff, or aim to graduate early. Depending on their academic status and goals, TEC students have multiple pathways: they may return to the traditional high school, graduate from TEC (on time or early), extend their education into a ninth semester through an administrative process, or access a fifth year if outlined in an Individualized Education Plan. While some students enroll intending to return to the traditional program, many who qualify to do so ultimately choose to graduate from TEC instead. TEC's curriculum aligns directly with the California State Standards and is guided by the school's philosophy of student-learner outcomes, embodied in the acronym I CARE. This philosophy shapes curricular development and teaching methods, challenging students to think and act independently while fostering their growth as cooperative, effective communicators. TEC graduates leave as academically prepared individuals who are equipped to take on civic responsibilities and contribute meaningfully to society. Beyond achieving academic skills, TEC staff also strongly emphasizes non-cognitive skills as part of its character development efforts. Traits like grit, curiosity, social intelligence, self-control, zest, gratitude, and optimism are all part of the vernacular of TEC students and staff. This common language helps staff and students engage in discussions regarding student achievement and growth that are not represented on a transcript but very much affect the student's present and future success in college and/or career. Whether students are working toward an early graduation, graduating from TEC in June, or planning to return to a comprehensive high school, we are committed to supporting all students through a lens of equity and inclusion to achieve their individual goals. Students and parents can be assured that a TEC diploma has the highest accreditation.
