    CCMR: College, Career, and Military Readiness

    College Career and Military Readiness(CCMR) emphasizes the importance of all students from Kindergarten to12th grade having systematic exposure to a wide variety of careers that are available and that match students' passions and interests.  In elementary school, students will explore different careers. In middle school and high school, students will narrow down their career aspirations and select a pathway or endorsement that will provide them with a sequence of courses to prepare them for their future career and college major.

    An integral part of the Humble ISD Counseling program is postsecondary planning.  Counselors serve as a source of information on career exploration and planning, as well as the college admissions process.  Counselors provide numerous resources on scholarships, college visits, college financial aid, testing, internships, summer enrichment opportunities and volunteer work.  Partner with your counselor and access Naviance to begin this journey of exploration, research and discovery. The CCMR goal is for students to graduate high school prepared for a college, career, or military path of their choice and empowered to be competent, productive members of society. 

    Counselors provide assistance with just about anything related to plans for life after high school, including:

    • Career exploration
    • Course planning and advising
