Tatum ISD credits College Bridge program as CCMR pass rates rise
Summary
Tatum ISD reported a year‑over‑year improvement in College, Career and Military Readiness metrics, which administrators attribute to the new College Bridge program; dual‑enrollment and industry‑certification targets were announced.
Tatum Independent School District administrators told the board Nov. 4 that the district saw a measurable increase in College, Career and Military Readiness (CCMR) outcomes for 2023–24 and underlined next steps to sustain the gains. Dr. J.P. Richardson, the superintendent, introduced the annual goals update and the CCMR report; Sheri Hopkins, Tatum High School principal, said the improvement stemmed from implementing the College Bridge program.
Mrs. Sheri Hopkins said the high school "required all juniors and seniors to complete the program in order to earn early release their senior year," which administrators linked to higher pass rates. Hopkins also cited specific metrics: graduates earned 90 of 230 reported hours (90/230 = 0.391), which the district noted is its highest total in five years. The district set targets that include dual‑enrollment participation of at least 50 percent of juniors and seniors and an increase in industry certifications across CTE programs. No board action was required on the report.
