VISION: Every student will be excited to learn, lead, achieve, and make a difference.
MISSION: ASPIRE will support and implement enriching, academically engaging, and results-driven out-of-school programming that is fully-integrated with the school day.
The Round Rock ISD ASPIRE Program provides after school and summer programs to eight elementary schools and two middle schools, serving approximately 1200 students per year. ASPIRE provides hands-on learning opportunities to supplement the school-day curriculum and a range of enrichment opportunities, from cooking to web design, for students at C.D. Fulkes and Hopewell Middle Schools and Anderson Mill, Berkman, Bluebonnet, Callison, Robertson, Union Hill, Voigt, and Wells Branch Elementary Schools. Students are nominated to participate in the program based on academic need or other criteria determined by the campus.
In partnership with the YMCA of Williamson County, classroom teachers, parents, and numerous community partners, ASPIRE strives to:
(1) provide academic support to students;
(2) link the entire family with resources such as GED and ESL classes; and
(3) support the development of both a student's academic and social success.
For more information about ASPIRE, contact Amanda McRae, Program Supervisor at (512) 428-7982. For a complete directory of ASPIRE staff, visit the ASPIRE contacts page.
ASPIRE is funded by a 21st Century Community Learning Centers grant from TEA.
