Recognizing that the ongoing success of our high school graduates and the continuing economic strength of Texas is based on the educational achievements of our young people, Bay City Scholars encourages high school students to build a strong academic foundation that will prepare them for the future.

This requires the support of the local community and its leaders to motivate high school students for life beyond their senior prom and graduation. By communicating real world expectations to students and providing various incentives, the Bay City Scholars program helps students to have a better understanding of what awaits them beyond high school.

The program emphasizes completing the Recommended Graduation Plan, with more exposure to Foreign Language and stepping up to Advanced Placement Courses and/or Dual Enrollment Courses. By satisfactorily completing these courses with a 70 average or better, students can expect to compete in the high technology, global economy of the future. Students who graduate as Bay City Scholars tend to finish stronger academically, score higher on standardized testing and college entrance exams, succeed in college at higher rates, and earn higher salaries over time.

* Bay City Scholars have more choices! They are more suited for the competitive job market, or for entering a college, university, or school of technology.

* Bay City Scholars can get better jobs! Members of the program, while in high school and after graduating, have skills that make them valued employees because they are hard workers who accept challenges.

* Bay City Scholars receive special recognition from their community! Bay City Scholar students, who set themselves to succeed, are recognized their junior and senior years of high school by business and community leaders with a variety of incentives, designed to peak their senior year.

Senior students are eligible to apply for the "Toward EXcellence, Access, & Success (TEXAS) Grant.

Accept the challenge... be a Bay City Scholar!

Bay City High School student Victoria F. won the Bay City Scholars 09-10 t-shirt design contest. Her concept is featured on the latest edition of the Bay City Scholars t-shirts that the BCHS seniors are now wearing. Her idea promotes the idea that being smart and studying hard IS cool!
