Mission:  Prepare all students with the knowledge and skills to meet the needs of our local and global workforce. 

Vision:  All students will be equipped to succeed in college, career, or military pathways upon graduation from Snyder High School. 

With an established Career and Technical Education (CTE) program offering program of studies in 11 career clusters, and wanting to provide students with additional opportunities to prepare for career success while meeting the demands of our local and regional workforce; becoming a Pathways in Technology in Early College High School (P-TECH), was a natural progression for Snyder ISD and Snyder High School. 

Using grant funds provided by TEA, Snyder ISD joined forces with Educate Texas to develop the Snyder High School P-TECH program. The school within-a school model allows students to have the opportunity to choose P-TECH as their pathway to graduation. 

Preparing for fall 2019 implementation began in the spring of 2019 with campus and district leaders working jointly to design a program to meet the needs of our local and global workforce and equip students to be successful upon graduation.  

Since the implementation year, our P-TECH student enrollment has increased at an average of 60% annually. With five original CTE programs identified as P-TECH pathways during the planning process, our P-TECH program now has ten designated programs. Expanded partnerships with our IHE schools, Western Texas College and South Plains College, will allow us to designate additional P-TECH pathways in the future.

Obtaining Industry-Based Certification (IBC) credentials allows students to validate knowledge and skills learned within the classroom while incorporating a Work-based Learning (WBL) component to each of the programs has allowed students to apply their classroom knowledge in real-work environments, under the guidance of business partners within the community.
