Programs of Study (POS) have been created for each of the 16 Career Clusters under the Achieve TX initiative.

POS contain lots of helpful information, including the core courses and career-related electives in high school that will help prepare students for their career goals. The POS are based upon the Recommended High School Graduation Plan and can easily be adapted for the Distinguished Achievement High School Graduation Plan.
