Killeen ISD staff preparing for another school year BY TODD MARTIN SPECIAL TO THE HERALD

The countdown is underway for a new school year, and liftoff is scheduled early next week. Campus administrators returned to campuses earlier this month, teacher training sessions continued and facilities, including two new Killeen ISD schools are just about ready to welcome students. The first day of school is Aug. 28, but several preliminary steps have led up to the starting date. More than 450 teachers new to Killeen ISD gathered for two days of district training during New Teacher Induction. That effort started with an assembly for the whole group and continues in smaller group settings, finishing at specific schools. For staff members of two new schools the start-up takes on additional effort. Alice Douse Elementary School and Roy J. Smith Middle School open their doors for the first time this school year. Douse Elementary Principal Pamela Disher has been working for weeks to open the new school, but she said the task became more personal during student registration. “It made it all more purposeful,” she said. “We met students and families. They will be here soon.” The new school is located on Rebecca Lynn Drive in a growing residen-

tial subdivision in south Killeen. It is named for Alice Douse, a longtime KISD educator and the first female African-American principal in the school district. The late educator’s family has already been involved in the school’s beginning. Family members met with a group of school faculty and established an early connection, Disher said. “That’s been exciting,” the principal said. “We want her legacy embedded in the culture of the school.” The school district’s other new school, Roy J. Smith Middle School,

is located on Brushy Creek Drive in south Killeen near Haynes Elementary School. “Our Smith faculty and staff are busy preparing for the upcoming school year,” said Smith Principal Chad Wolf. “We are excited and looking forward to meeting all of our new (Smith) Leopards.” The new Smith campus includes the school district’s first STEM Academy for middle school students. The academy will begin with 440 sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders from all the district’s middle school

attendance zones. They were selected through application and a lottery. STEM Academy Director Cynthia Hodges explained that all the academy students would receive accelerated math to be ready for Algebra I as eighth-graders. Each grade level will have a STEM focus, with sixth grade focusing on science, seventh grade on engineering and eighth grade on technology. Students will take part in Project Based Learning and complete two academy wide projects a year. “It’s exciting that they get to experience all facets of STEM,” Hodges said, referencing science, technology, engineering and math. “They will know their area of interest when they enter high school.” At the high schools, orientation for freshmen and new students is underway. Shoemaker High School Wolf Camp was held Aug. 8. Killeen High School New Roo Round-Up took place Aug. 17. Harker Heights Knight Camp and Ellison High School Eagle Fest are Aug. 23. Meet the Teacher events are scheduled 4 to 6 p.m. Aug. 24 at elementary schools and 5 to 7 p.m. Aug. 24 at middle schools. School dedication ceremonies are 1 p.m. at Smith Middle School and 4 p.m. at Douse Elementary School, both on Aug. 26. The annual Spirit Spectacular marching band performance is 8 p.m. Aug. 26 at Buckley Stadium.

Killeen ISD students required to follow campus dress code SPECIAL TO THE HERALD

Killeen Independent School District parents and students are advised to contact their respective school’s dress code for what is considered appropriate. The general district policy for is online, but some schools in the district have adopted their own standards. Throughout the district, students are required to be dressed and groomed in a clean and neat manner that does not present a health or safety hazard to themselves or others, according to the policy. Students who violate the dress code will be advised by the campus administrator and will be given the opportunity to comply. While there are many forms of opportunities to comply, the most common is for students to call their parents for a change of clothes.

Those students who fail to comply or repeat to violate the dress code will be subject to disciplinary action. The district prohibits clothing with pictures, emblems and writing that are lewd, offensive, vulgar or obscure. Also prohibited is clothing that advertises or depict tobacco products, alcoholic beverage, drugs or any other prohibited substance. Also prohibited is clothing that contain derogatory remarks concerning any identifiable race, color, creed, national origin, religion, age, gender or disability. The following dress code standards include: • Pants, slacks and jeans are acceptable. • Pants or shorts can not be more than one size large and must be worn no higher than 4 inches above the knee are permitted. • Shirts and blouses must be ap-

propriately sized and may not be extend beyond the student’s fingertips when worn outside of pants or skirt. • Dresses, skirts, and shorts are to be no shorter than 4 inches above the top of the knee, and must allow students to walk, stoop, kneel, and sit with modesty. • “Sagging” is not permitted. • Apparel designed for reaction such as tank tops is not acceptable. • Tank tops and similar apparel may be worn by pre-K to secondgrade students. • Tight clothing, accessories that draw attention are prohibited including tank tops, halter tops, etc. • Students shall wear tops that cover the upper body, shoulders, and beyond the midriff leaving no exposed skin. • Types of apparel including jewelry, trademark, symbol, and any other items or manner of grooming

with any attribute indicates or implies gang membership or affiliation are prohibited. • Hair must be neat, clean, and well groomed. Facial hair must be neat and well trimmed. • Head coverings, bandanas, hoods, and sweatpants, may not be worn inside the building. The campus administrator must approve any exceptions to this policy for religious or medical reasons. • Students must wear appropriate footwear for school. Inappropriate footwear include house slippers, shoe skates, water shoes, sock shoes, and shoes with metal spikes. • Photo ID cards will be issued to all secondary students except those assigned to Gateway Middle School and High School. They are required to be worn at all times, visible from the front at school or school functions, and while riding to and from school on district transportation.

Copperas Cove ISD alters its dress code ahead of new school year SPECIAL TO THE HERALD

COPPERAS COVE — The Copperas Cove Independent School District dress code is established to teach grooming and hygiene, prevent disruption and minimize safety hazards. Campus administrators and faculty are charged with enforcing the dress code. Administrators will use their professional judgment in determining where attire is distracting or causes a disturbance. Students are expected to be dressed and groomed in a manner appropriate for a public school educational environment. The provisions of the dress and grooming code are enforced at school and school-sponsored activities. The CCISD board of trustees re-

| 2017 Back to School 2

cently approved changes as a part of the Student Handbook, as mandated by the recent session of the Texas Legislature. Here are some of the changes for the upcoming school year: Junior High Dress Code • Removed frayed jeans as a prohibited item. • Removed leggings, jeggings or workout pants as being allowable under a skirt, blouse or top. • Added that all tattoos must be covered. High School Dress Code • Added tank tops with straps that are the width of a campus ID as being acceptable. • Removed the clause regarding tops meeting the belt line “when seated.” • Removed the requirement for the base layer shirt to be at least finger-

tip length when wearing leggings. • Added shorts to the list of apparel that must fit at the waist. • Added that Leggings, Jeggings, or workout pants may be worn with a skirt, blouse or top garment that meets or exceeds the tips of the finger when arms are fully extended. • Added to the hair policy that the face must remain visible. • Added to the high school dress code a provision stating that tails and ears are considered costumes and are not allowed. The following portions of the dress code remain unchanged. District policy prohibits any apparel, jewelry, accessory, notebook or manner of grooming which, by virtue of its color, arrangement, trademark or other attribute, denotes membership in a group or gang that advocates drug use or ex-

hibits behaviors that interfere with the normal and orderly operation of a school. Certain elective courses or extracurricular activities may require more stringent dress or appearance standards than for the general student body. The district leaves the choice of hair length with the students and their parents and whether or not beards or mustaches are to be worn. They must accept the accompanying responsibility of keeping all hair properly groomed. Shoes must be worn at all times. No shoes with wheels may be worn. Any type of hat or head covering is prohibited. All shirts must completely cover the midriff when arms are fully extended above the head and when seated.

Faculty, staff in Copperas Cove ISD ready to welcome back students BY ARTIE PHILLIPS KILLEEN DAILY HERALD

The first day of school is just a week away, and everyone is making sure they are prepared — including the employees of the Copperas Cove Independent School District. “The staff at CCISD has been involved in a variety of meaningful professional development activities focused on the continual improvement of their teaching practices,” CCISD Superintendent Joe Burns said. “Staff members have both facilitated and participated in workshops covering everything from classroom management and technology integration to successful writing institutes and the implementation of problem solving strategies across the curriculum. Teachers also participated in the process of clarifying the content they teach and the sequence of delivering the content.” There have been several major renovation and remodeling projects begun and completed over the summer to keep the district’s facilities prepared for returning students. The majority of work came in the form of new or partially new roofing for several schools.

CCHS is also getting a new parking lot at the school to allow for more parking, and all other parking lots will be re-striped and have their curbs repainted as needed. “There will be a newly renovated front drive at Copperas Cove High School,” Burns said. “Once inside the CCHS campus, students and parents

will notice that the offices for Student Services and the Attendance Office have been relocated to an area near the front lobby to better serve patrons.” The buildings in the district are not the only things to be getting a bit of a face-lift, however. Bulldawg Stadium, at 425 Williams St., is getting new artificial turf on the field. The stadium also gets new signs and seat numbers. House Creek Elementary is getting an expansion to its cafeteria that will allow more students to eat in the cafeteria at one time. “House Creek Elementary students will have a little more elbow room in the cafeteria, thanks to the expansion project completed this summer,” Burns said. “Finally, the district is undertaking the construction of a new transportation department on Summers Road.” Right now students have staggered eating times in order to manage the growing student population. Parking lots at the campuses will also receive a touch up. “The teachers and staff have been hard at work to make sure you have a great year filled with success,” Burns said in a letter to students and parents. “I hope you are as excited about the upcoming school year as I am.”

Salado ISD preparing for record enrollment as facilities near capacity by josh sullivan Special to the Herald

SALADO — The Salado Independent School District already has 1,876 students enrolled in district schools. That’s 103 students more than the 2016-17 school year, which was the largest one Salado has had to date. The facilities have nearly reached capacity, so the district is no longer accepting transfer applications from students outside the district. The exceptions to this rule are children of employees, siblings of current transfer students and children of active-duty military or disabled veterans. In order to manage the increased number of students this school year, the district has expanded its Advanced Via Individualized Determination (AVID) program to students in grades four through eight.

Salado’s Abbie James (10) celebrates with her teammates at home plate after hitting a grand slam against Burnet.

“This program is very helpful with increasing the students’ college readiness,” Superintendent Michael Novotny said. “The AVID program is

meant to help close the achievement gap by preparing students for college readiness and success in a global society.”

Salado ISD has also been preparing for the start of several programs once school begins Aug. 28. The district started a medical/ health science program at the high school this year. This program will help prepare students for a variety of medical careers, including surgeons, physicians, nurses, nurse assistants, and paramedics. The program will include both classroom based courses and clinical rotations that will give the students the opportunity to spend time at hospitals and clinics. Salado has maintained its lowest property tax rate for its school district since the 1989-1990 school year, according to Novotny. This also makes it one of the lowest tax rates out of all the school districts in Bell County. Parents seeking information about the district can go to saladoisd.org or call the central office at 254-947-6900.

Belton ISD makes plans for new schools as rapid growth continues Special to the Herald

BELTON — Big changes are on the horizon for Belton Independent School District. In May, voters approved issuing bonds to build a new elementary school, which will open in 2019, and a new high school to open in 2020. The new facilities are a response to the district’s fast growth. In the last 10 years, Belton ISD has added more than 3,000 students, and enrollment is projected to exceed 11,300 students this year. Registration is still open for new students, including 4-year-olds entering the district’s full-day prekindergarten program. The pre-K program is free for students who qualify for free or reduced-price school meals, are the child of an active-duty member of the armed forces, speak English as a second language, or have been in foster care.

Michael Miller | FME News Service

Belton ISD Superintendent Susan Kincannon poses for a portrait at Shanklin Road off of Loop 121 in Belton at the site of a future Belton school as the district plans for more rapid growth.

A limited number of tuition-supported spaces are also available for students, who are not eligible for the free prekindergarten program. “In the fall of 2014, we opened the Belton Early Childhood School,” superintendent Susan Kincannon said.

“Bringing all of our prekindergarten classes together in one location has allowed us to better support our youngest learners.” Throughout the summer, Belton ISD staff members have been preparing for the start of the school year.

In early August, more than 1,000 teachers and paraprofessionals participated in two-day learning conference focused on improving “It wasn’t just our employees, who were hard at work this summer,” Kincannon said. “We also had students, who competed and placed in two national competitions.” At the SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference, Belton High School students won the national championship in TeamWorks, a construction trades event, and placed fourth in Chapter Business Procedure, a parliamentary procedure contest. Two North Belton Middle School students won fifth place in the junior documentary category at the National History Day contest. Classes start Aug. 21. To learn more about the district, including enrollment procedures, go to bisd.net.

Florence ISD preparing for more students as small district grows By Artie Phillips Killeen Daily Herald

The Florence Independent School District is starting its school year a tad earlier than most other districts in Texas, with students returning to school on Aug. 21 instead of Aug. 28. The early start date means the district is now in the final stages of preparing for students, according to Superintendent Paul Michalewicz. “We have several new teachers coming in this year, and all teachers came back to work on Aug. 11 to prepare for the start of school,” Michalewicz said. “We are also preparing for more students than we had last year, which was 1,025 students.” Michalewicz wanted to highlight that the district is always willing to accept transfers. He also said the school district is constantly growing, both in terms of enrollment numbers

and in college preparation. Michalewicz said the district is currently working through a long-range facilities planning process that helps them gauge the growth of the district and better serve the students and parents who are a part of the district.

“We have areas in the district that are beacons of light,” Michalewicz said. “Our Ag (Agriculture) Science is always doing well and growing, as is our CTE (Career and Technical Education) programs.” Various sports in the athletics

program are continuing to improve, as well. The soccer team — while still being relatively young after only three years — is continuing to grow, and the Florence ISD football team made the playoffs for the first time in 15 years. “Our extracurricular programs are continuing to thrive,” Michalewicz said. The Advanced Placement curriculum, which had several new courses added to it last year, is also drawing continued interest, as is the multiple dual-credit offering available in the district. FISD offers dual-credit classes both on-site at the schools and online. “I continue to be very excited about what we are doing here in Florence,” Michalewicz said. “We continue to define a clear vision and goals here that will lead to long-term stability and success.”

Lampasas ISD superintendent looks forward to second year with district BY ARTIE PHILLIPS KILLEEN DAILY HERALD

With one year at the Lampasas Independent School District officially under his belt, LISD Superintendent Dr. Chane Rascoe is preparing to enter his second year leading the district, and he says he is very excited about the coming year, which began Aug. 17. “Lampasas ISD has been a godsend for not only me but for my family, as well,” Rascoe said. “We love it and have enjoyed getting to know the kids, staff and community.” Enrollment in the district is estimated to be around 3,500 students. Perhaps the biggest push by the district this year is a focus on reading, and LISD has a lot of plans in the works. This coming year, Lampasas seeks to further improve the reading performance of the elementary campuses

by continuing and expanding their initiative called “Read On Lampasas.”

“This past year saw an overwhelming level of support from our community volunteers willing to dedicate their time to help improve the reading ability of our kids,” Rascoe said. “We thank our community for caring so deeply about the success of our children.” Some of the ways LISD hopes to improve the “Read On Lampasas” initiative and improve reading in general include: • Each elementary campus will be setting reading improvement goals and working toward reaching and exceeding the developed goals. • The district has added a curriculum specialist on each campus with the goal of supporting our great teachers. • Each elementary campus will implement a research-based lesson cycle approach called “Daily Five” in an effort to focus on the fundamental components of effective

reading instruction. • Part of the performance goals for each elementary principal will include expectations for improvements in reading level performance. • An increased level of funding to purchase additional resources for kids and teachers. • The Taylor Creek campus has partnered with Texas A&M Central Texas to provide enhanced reading support to students this fall and spring on the campus. • The district created a Twitter hashtag for anyone wanting to follow the program: #readonlampasas. LISD has also expanded its Career Technical Educational (CTE) programs for the middle and high school, offering several new courses students can explore. “We are excited to see the courses our kids decide to purse and look forward to the coming year,” Rascoe said.

Gatesville ISD faculty and staff ready for students to return By Artie Phillips Killeen Daily Herald

The Gatesville Independent School District is officially ready for students to return to class after summer break, having spent numerous man hours preparing the schools and classrooms for the 2017-2018 school year. Roughly 3,000 students will head back to school on Aug. 21, and Superintendent Eric Penrod said the district is ready for them. “The education we provide students reaches deep into our surrounding area and will leave a mark on generations to come,” he said in an issued statement. “Through it all, your (the community’s) commitment to education has remained the top priority, and that has benefitted no one more than our students.” Penrod is entering his third year

as superintendent, after joining the district in July 2015. He previously served as the assistant superintendent of academic programs for

Marble Falls ISD. “The first day of school is an exciting day for all of us, especially our students,” Penrod said. “Seeing the

smiles light up on thousands of faces reminds me how fortunate we are to be part of the GISD team.” Gatesville ISD opened a new elementary school two years after voters in the school district approved a $17.9 million bond issue in November 2013 to finance building a new school. Construction on the school was completed in time for the 2015-16 school year, and the school is now entering its third year. Last year, GISD added a new middle school library. Members of the school district’s board include Stephen A. Norris, board president; Deborah C. Ford, board vice president; Lisbeth G. Appelman, board secretary; Marry Anne Leib; Joe Nolte; Cheyenne Kizer; and Michelle Edwards. To find out more about GISD, visit www.gatesvilleisd.org.

Texas requires up-to-date immunizations for students By Josh Sullivan Killeen Daily Herald

Students may have all the school supplies they need to start back to class, but the most important requirement is that they are up-to-date on their shots. The state of Texas mandates children who attend public school to be immunized against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, varicella, meningococcal and hepatitis A. According to the Texas Department of State Health Services website, a physician is allowed to write medical exemption statements that the vaccines required would be medically harmful to the well-being of either a child or a household member. Parents and guardians can also

choose not to vaccinate a child for religious beliefs. Inconvenience is not a permitted exemption however. The Killeen ISD can prohibit students from attending classes until their immunizations records are brought into compliance. State law also requires that all students who are under the age of 22 on their first day of college must provide proof of immunization for bacterial meningitis. The vaccine must have been received during the five years prior to enrollment, and at least 10 days before class starts. For more information about the state immunization requirements, go to www.dshs.state.tx.us/immunize. You can also visit the website for your child’s school district to learn more about required vaccinations.

Make time to eat together with back-to-school family dinner strategies By Carey Stites Special to the Herald

With the hustle and bustle of back to school approaching, your family might find it challenging to enjoy dinner together, consistently. Putting a healthy dinner on the table and making it one your family will enjoy is not as hard as you might envision. Down the Line: Have an assembly line style night where everyone builds their own meal. Set out ingredients for family favorites such as burgers, tacos, chili, rice bowls or sub sandwiches. Then, let each family member go through the line to make their dinner. For example, grill lean burgers and place them on a plate. In separate bowls, put toppings like tomatoes, lettuce, low-fat cheese, guacamole and onions. Most children enjoy the independence and “control” of putting together their own meal.

| 2017 Back to School 2

Outside the Box: Dinner does not always have to consist of a “main course and two sides.” Dinners can be composed of entrée salads, casseroles or stir-fry meals. A one-pot stir fry is as easy as heating oil in a skillet, adding fresh or frozen vegetables and stirring in leftover lean meat. Serve over rice or pasta for an instant, complete meal. Breakfast for Dinner: Eggs are a great source of protein and when

topped with shredded low-fat cheese add calcium and vitamin D to dinner. Turkey bacon is also an excellent alternative to high-fat bacon. For a source of complex carbohydrate at dinner, try whole-wheat toast, whole-grain pancakes or waffles and fresh fruit. Leftover Night: Multiple leftover options can be exciting for kids and can offer an opportunity for creativity. Select several items (not older than 3

days) to serve and let the family create an entrée combination they will enjoy. Leftover night is a great way to empty your refrigerator and reduce clutter; plus it ensures your family limits the amount of food wasted. Some foods, such as lasagna, may actually taste better the next day! Slow Cooker Meals: Many dishes with long cooking times can actually cook independently in a slow cooker while you are out for the day. Slow cookers are excellent ways to come home to a great meal; add ingredients before leaving in the morning, set to low heat and serve when the family is home. An alternative is to roast a whole chicken in the oven with vegetables while you complete other household tasks during the day.

Save money on school supplies, clothing throughout the year By Jennise Colin Ventura Killeen Daily Herald

Most parents and students do most of the back-to-school shopping just before school starts to prepare them for the school year, but what about throughout the year? Students will eventually need more supplies, clothes and food at some point, right? Even though the back-toschool sales will end shortly after the school year starts, you can still save money throughout the semester. Food for thought: College students are digitally savvy these days, so most will have apps on their phones. A lot of grocery stores and drugstores have their own apps to help save money. H-E-B, Target, Walgreens and CVS apps offer digital coupons on grocery items. H-E-B offers several food items at a discount, especially healthy options, on its app. Students can select

A lot of grocery stores and drugstores have their own apps to help save money. digital coupons on the app and at checkout, they add their phone number and passcode and the discounts are applied. Store apps offer a carefree option of going paperless — no worries of losing paper coupons among the students’ book and notes. Go to the stores’ websites, look for the Android or Apple download icon to click and the apps will show up shortly on their phones. Walgreens, CVS and Target all have store and manufacturer coupons on their apps that can combined on one item. This is called “stacking” — us-

ing a store coupon and a manufacturer coupon on the same product. Walgreens offers a Balance Rewards for Healthy Choices program where shoppers get rewarded in points for walking. All you need is a Fitbit or a walking device to sync to this program from the Walgreens website. These rewards can be used in addition to the digital store and manufacturer coupons for deeper savings. In the produce department, H-E-B offers select quick sale items at 50 percent off, especially on fruit snack combos, in the mornings, so grabbing a few for on the go is a much cheaper and healthy choice than going to a fast food restaurant. Also check out the clearance areas in the store. Most H-E-Bs have a specific area where the deeply discounted items are placed. If you like eating out, sign up at

the restaurants’ websites for emails to receive special offers and free food. McDonald’s, Jack in the Box, McAlister’s and Burger King offer discounts through their apps. School supplies: Walgreens, Office Depot, Office Max and Target usually offer various school and office supplies on sale all year long. You can go to the app, website or purchase the Sunday newspaper to review the store’s sale circulars for deals. Clothes: Sign up for emails of special discounts from your favorite stores’ website. American Eagle, Old Navy, Target and Torrid are some of the stores that send out several emails each month so you can save more money. Most can take the coupon discount from your phone. If you order online, look for deals that also offer free shipping.

Central Texas College providing higher education for 50 years By Bruce Vasbinder Special to the Herald

With the start of the fall 2017 semester on Aug. 28, Central Texas College will mark its 50th fall semester of providing higher educational opportunities to the residents of Killeen, Fort Hood, Copperas Cove and surrounding areas. Since it first opened its doors to nearly 1,800 students in 1967, CTC has evolved into a unique institution serving students not only in Central Texas but at most military installations across the country, in Europe, the Middle East and other military sites across the globe. CTC offers more than 100 associate degrees and certificates of completion in a variety of academic, professional and vocational/technical fields. Some of the programs of study include aviation science, business administration, communications, computer science, computer-aided drafting and design, electronics technology, industrial technology, interdisciplinary studies, language, mathematics, nursing and paramedic, science and computer and Web design online courses. In addition to classroom courses, CTC offers more than 400 online and blended (a combination of online and classroom) courses to accommodate the needs of students who may have job, family and other commitments that deter them from attending traditional lecture courses that meet at a specific time on specific days. Students locally and around the world may complete 37 certificates and 32 degrees online. CTC recently added online courses in the areas of accounting, aviation, biology and chemistry, child development, computer science, developmental studies, emergency medical technology, culinary arts, geology, government, mental health, nursing, office technology, paralegal, philosophy, real estate, sociology and web design.

Flying over a simulated Killeen, Central Texas College aviation student Jack Lowrance hones his skills inside of a new flight simulator for aviation students on June 28 at CTC.

Another option for full- and parttime students this fall is the CTC Weekend and Evening College program. Students with busy work and family schedules during the day can complete any of 27 associate degree plans or 11 certificate programs at night and on weekends. Degree and certificate programs offer 16-week and eight-week courses as well as selfpaced, online and blended options. CTC recently announced new classes, class formats and programs for the fall 2017 curriculum. Several changes to class formats and the addition of new online, classroom and weekend classes will benefit working students and enable them to better fit school into their schedule. First, CTC added a new associate degree program in the Business Administration program. The new Accounting Technician degree plan is a 60-credit hour program leading to an

associate of applied science degree. Also added were new stackable Business Management Accounting Specialist and Human Resource Management certificate programs. Stackable programs provide students with immediate workforce skills. Those classes taken in the certificate program can then be stacked or applied to a degree plan should the student choose to continue their education. In addition, the department now offers the Principles of Financial Accounting course on Saturday as part of CTCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Evening/Weekend College program. CTC has also expanded its flexible class format offerings. Students can earn an associate degree in 15-16 months through a combination of online classes and evening/weekend classes at either the CTC central campus in Killeen or its Fort Hood campus.

Degrees available in this format include interdisciplinary studies and business administration at the central campus and applied technology or general studies at the Fort Hood site. The Mathematics Department has added a second college algebra course. The Electronics Department added a new certificate program in the field of robotics. Office Technology and Medical Office Technology students will now have a self-paced option to complete their studies. The Hospitality Department has added a new program, distance learning courses and a blended class. The new Baking and Pastry Specialization program includes 60 credit hours and leads to an associate degree in applied science. In agriculture, CTC will offer a new Principles of Viticulture I class this fall. As part of the horticulture studies program, the class includes the principles and practices of grape production, propagation, trellis and production systems, climate requirements, the economic factors affecting the choice of vineyard type and location, types of wines, proper storage procedures and the techniques of proper wine service. The CTC Kinesiology Department has also added new activity courses to its program. The fall 2017 semester will also mark the return of 300-plus high school juniors in the Early College High School program. These students spent their sophomore year at Smith Middle School while the recently dedicated Shoemaker Center on the CTC campus was being renovated. These students will share that facility and an adjacent facility for class and lab space. For other high school students, CTC recently expanded its dual credit program with the Killeen ISD Career Center and Copperas Cove ISD.

Less than 20 years ago, the world was aflutter with the arrival of a new century. Experts and authorities on all manner of topics made predictions about the inevitable nature of change. While it certainly wasn’t center stage to the extent technology, economy and geo-political uncertainty were, the future of higher education was examined for the extent to which the 21st century might bring change to traditional ways of doing things. The iconic campus, some predicted, would become a thing of the past in favor of online learning options. Taxpayers and students alike questioned the validity of the promised return on investment of the college degree, especially in light of tuition and fees that skyrocketed, placing the opportunity of an undergraduate degree out of reach for many. Someone would find a better way, they said. Someone would find a less expensive way to deliver on the promise of the undergraduate degree. And if they did, could they have predicted that it would be one of the most traditional and largest systems of Texas higher education that would take the lead? Well, if they didn’t, they should have. Because that’s exactly what Texans are made of. No doubt about it; it was an A&M University that found a way: A&M-

Central Texas, 11th of 12 universities governed by The Texas A&M University System, is introducing itself and the upper-level model throughout the region. The university’s inaugural president, Dr. Marc Nigliazzo, acknowledges the amount of time he and university staffers spend helping community leaders and potential students understand the university’s mission and its advantages: affordability, accessibility, and quality. And while it may take a moment to understand how the upper-level model works, the effort is worth it. This new concept delivers high quality degree completion for under $20,000 — 51 percent less than the

average cost of a four-year education cited by state officials. How is it possible? Two important factors, stress university officials: partnering with the region’s community college offers an infinitely more affordable option than traditional colleges and universities and A&M-Central Texas tuition is the second lowest in the State of Texas. Here’s an example: One year of fulltime tuition at Central Texas College is, as of May 2017, $2,700 per year. Presuming two years of coursework prior to transfer and two semesters per year, the cost of tuition and fees equal $5,400. Now, add that amount to the cost of

A&M-Central Texas tuition and fees for the final two years, and the result looks a lot less intimidating and lot more like an investment with the potential to pay for itself. Via the upper level model, students could pay as little as $18,172 for their undergraduate degree — half the cost of the statewide average cited earlier. Even better than the price are the twin advantages of accessibility and quality. A&M-Central Texas admissions requirements ask applicants for a minimum of 30 credit hours and a 2.0 grade point average to begin their undergraduate degree completion. The vast majority of their students are adults, with careers and families, many the first in their family tree to earn a degree, and are military affiliated by virtue of active or reserve duty or veteran status. “Whether they are with us online or in person, our students receive an education guided by full-time faculty who are content masters in their disciplines,” Nigliazzo explained. “They aren’t learning from teaching assistants. They are side by side with our faculty taking on a rigorous curriculum that prepares them to advance in their chosen careers.” A&M-Central Texas offers 16 graduate and 24 undergraduate degrees offered via the College of Business Administration, the College of Education, and the College of Liberal Arts and Studies. Classes start Aug. 28. Visit www.tamuct.edu or contact at 254-519-5438 for more information.

UMHB prepares students for lives of leadership and service CAMPUS IMPROVEMENTS

By James Stafford Special to the Herald

The University of Mary HardinBaylor is dedicated to preparing students for lives of leadership, service, and faith-informed discernment in a global society. Academic excellence, personal attention, broad-based scholarship, and a Baptist vision for education distinguish our Christ-centered learning community.

ACADEMICS

Last year the UMHB was blessed with its eighth consecutive record enrollment, just over 3,900 students. Despite consistent growth, the university remains committed to the personal attention that has always been a cornerstone of the UMHB experience for more than 170 years. Dr. John Vassar joined the university administration this fall as provost and senior vice president for academics. Vassar previously served as provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs at Louisiana State University in Shreveport, He holds a master’s degree in theology from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and a Ph.D. in religious studies from Baylor University, and he has served as an intentional interim pastor at churches in Louisiana and Texas. The University of Mary HardinBaylor offers bachelor’s degrees in 47 undergraduate majors, graduate

degrees in seven master’s programs, and three doctoral degrees (Doctor of Education, Doctor of Nursing Practice, and Doctor of Physical Therapy). The university augmented its undergraduate programs this year with the expansion of its pre-engineering program into a full, four-year engineering degree; UMHB’s competencybased education program for adult degree completers was also expanded to include a fully online RN-to-BSN degree program. Classes begin Aug. 21.

In October, the university will celebrate the dedication of the Sue & Frank Mayborn Performing Arts Center. The centerpiece of the center is the Baugh Performance Hall, a 525seat theater with a proscenium stage, fly space, and orchestra pit. The facility’s ingenious design will allow it to be used as a teaching facility as well as a venue for musical and theatrical performances. The performing arts center is the final project of the Campus Master Plan adopted by the UMHB Board of Trustees in February 2011. In the years since the plan was launched, the university has completed eight new facilities, including the Bawcom Student Union, Baugh Center for the Visual Arts, Crusader Stadium, and Isabelle Rutherford Meyer Nursing Education Center.

STUDENT LIFE

UMHB students take active and personal roles in spreading the good news of Jesus Christ across the world. Last year, 294 students, faculty, and staff members spent their Christmas vacations, spring breaks, and summer taking part in mission activities in 33 countries. In addition, more than 200 students were regularly involved in community missions and service projects in the Central Texas community. In April, UMHB held its 78th An-

nual Easter Pageant. The student-led production depicts moments from the life and ministry of Christ, including His triumphal entrance into Jerusalem, crucifixion, and resurrection. This event has become a tradition for many Central Texas families. This year’s pageant featured more than 300 UMHB students. The show’s three performances drew more than 6,000 spectators and, for the first time ever, the performances were also streamed live online, where they were watched by another 6,700 people.

ATHLETICS

The last year has been one of the greatest in the history of UMHB athletics. For the first time in its 19-year history, the Crusader football program won the NCAA Division III National Championship with a 10-7 victory over Wisconsin-Oshkosh in Stagg Bowl XLIV. The team closed out the season with a perfect 15-0 record to set new school and American Southwest Conference records for single-season victories. Ten of the university’s other athletic programs went on to compete in postseason play at ASC conference tournaments. The CRU volleyball team earned the No. 2 spot in the conference for the second consecutive season, and the men’s golf team won its conference championship by a 20-stroke margin.
