Communities in Schools East Texas is a non-profit organization dedicated to addressing the high dropout rates among Hispanic and African-American students, particularly those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. By bringing together a community of support, including parents, volunteers, and service providers, CIS works to empower students to stay in school and achieve success in life.
Through direct services and a coordinated team approach, CIS provides resources, mentors, tutors, and counseling to students in order to improve attendance, enhance social-emotional learning, and increase graduation rates. With a focus on creating a community-wide solution, CIS believes that keeping kids in school is not just a school problem, but a community problem that requires the involvement of various stakeholders to make a lasting impact.
