Dual Language & ESL Program

Dual Language/Biliteracy 

Waxahachie ISD offers our dual language students who have completed 4+ years in a dual language elementary program, the opportunity to apply and continue their dual language track at Howard Junior High School.  For each year the student is in the junior high school dual language program, the student will enroll in two dual language courses –a dual language Spanish language course, and a companion dual language content course (math, social studies, or science).  Successful completion of dual language Spanish I, II, and/or III will result in the student completing junior high with 3 high school credits in foreign language.  These high school foreign language credits will be applied toward graduation requirements.  Students interested in continuing their elementary dual language track into Junior High School need to contact their school counselor for the application process.  

Dual Language- Discovery Class

Dual Language 6th grade students at Howard Junior High will take Spanish Language Arts or Spanish Languages Other Than English in place of the Discovery Class.
