At Lockhart High School (Lockhart ISD), students like Kate and Laura found their voices and built new paths forward with the support of Communities In Schools and their program manager, Raymond McClain.

Kate came to CIS feeling unsure of herself, keeping her artwork hidden out of fear. Through one-on-one support, she built confidence and found a safe space to grow. By senior year, she was ready to share her work and her story.

Laura was struggling with attendance until a friend connected her with CIS and Raymond. With consistent support, she stayed on track and reached her goals.

From confidence to consistency, these stories remind us that the relationships we build can truly change outcomes.

Graduation season is here, and we are celebrating the Class of 2026!

Our students’ collective achievements represent resilience, determination, and the power of support systems that help them reach their goals. We are honored to walk alongside every graduate.

Studies from Opportunity Insights and researchers at Harvard University and other leading institutions found that the Communities In Schools model increases high school graduation rates by 5.2% and matriculation at two-year colleges by 9.1%.

These outcomes reflect what we see every day across Central Texas. When students are surrounded by support and strong relationships, they succeed.

Congratulations to the 2026 graduates. Your future is bright, and we are proud to be part of your journey!

When students feel better emotionally, they are able to show up, engage, and succeed in school.

This , we’re recognizing the growing need for mental health support among students across Central Texas and the importance of meeting them where they are.

Through our Mental Health and Wellness Program, licensed clinicians provide care directly on campus, helping remove barriers to access. We also support entire school communities with training and connecting families to resources through a trauma-sensitive, family-centered approach.

The impact is real. According to CIS data, 94% of students who entered care with moderate or severe depression or anxiety showed a decrease in symptoms.

Mental health support changes outcomes. And together, we can ensure more students have access to the care they need.
