Programs offered by Communities In Schools of North Texas at Denton High School

• Mentoring: Site Coordinator matches a member of the community to meet with a student one day each week for 45 minutes to one hour on campus during the school day to help with class work, set goals, offer support, and encourage them to succeed. Mentors are asked to commit to meeting for the duration of the entire school year.

• Homework Center/Tutoring: Tutors are provided when available to assist students with homework during lunch or scheduled on certain days. CISNT has partnered with the University of North Texas Math Department to provide tutors that are studying to become teachers. These University students dedicate their time as a service learning project.

CIS also sponsors field trips to colleges throughout the school year and during summer program. CIS provides one-on-one assistance to case-managed students in applying for Scholarships and help with understanding and applying for the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), and college applications.
