Seniors:  New this year, you will earn a CORD for Graduation when you are TSI compliant...meaning you have passed all three sections of your TSI or received a College Readiness score on your ACT or SAT. 


Juniors:  The TSI is the college entrance exam that will allow you to take on-level courses immediately when enrolling.  Majority of Texas colleges require this assessment before registering for classes at the college level.  TSI is also required to take any dual credit courses through Kilgore College. 

At GHS, passing all three sections of the TSI or earning a College Readiness score on your ACT or SAT is required to earn early release or late arrival for your senior year.  If you have not passed all three sections of the TSI, your senior year you will be required to complete College Bridge before earning early release/late arrival.
