Numerous Programs of Study are available through the college major or career interest preparation.

When students know where their education is headed and why, their classes will become more meaningful.
CTE Dual Credit
-
Dual credit is enrollment in college classes through an approved college for credit in both high school and college. These CTE courses can be taken either on the HHS campus or at the approved college campus. Currently, dual credit courses are offered through Kilgore College and LeTourneau University.
Career Practicum

With the need for highly skilled labor, Hallsville High School will offer students advanced training in Career and Technical Education through Career Practicum Programs. A Practicum course is designed to give students supervised practical application of previously studied knowledge and skills. Practicum experiences occur in a paid or unpaid arrangement at a variety of locations, such as employment, independent study, internships, assistantship, mentorship, or voluntary work designed to prepare students with "real world" experiences. Through this program, students will develop skills to strengthen individual performance in the workplace and in society and to make a successful transition to the workplace or postsecondary education. This program is open to students in Grade 12 who are participating in a Program of Study within the CTE department of HHS.
