Mission Statement
The mission of the Port Aransas Independent School District is to inspire every student to reach his or her potential through:
1. The highest quality education
2. A safe and caring environment
3. A meaningful life and career.
We believe the learning environment within the PAISD is based on providing each student a rigorous and challenging education. Our Board, teachers and administrators understand that students face an increasingly competitive world and our goal is for students to be among the best prepared in the United States. Students are expected to perform at optimal levels and will be monitored for continual improvement. Students have the opportunity to learn based on their needs, and benefit from a wide variety of academic programs.

Colleges and Universities
Texas A & M University-Corpus Christi
Texas A & M University-Corpus Christi is an expanding, doctoral granting institution committed to preparing graduates for lifelong learning and responsible citizenship in the global community. We are dedicated to excellence in teaching, research, creative activity and service. Our supportive, multicultural learning community provides undergraduate and graduate students with a challenging educational experience. The university’s federal designation as a Hispanic Servicing Institution (HSI) provides a foundation for closing educational gaps, while its strategic location on the Gulf of Mexico and on the cultural border with Latin American provides a basis for gaining national and internal prominence.
