Extra Assistance
At Austin High School we strive to ensure that every student is given the opportunity to receive a first class education. We recognize, however, that in some cases there are circumstances hindering students from taking full advantage of this opportunity. To address those circumstance, there are several extra assistance programs available to Austin students and parents.
