House Bill 5

  • House Bill 5 (HB 5), passed by the Texas Legislature in 2013, made substantial changes to the state's curriculum and graduation requirements, assessment program, and accountability system.  

     

     

    HB 5 restructured the state's graduation requirements, moving from the "4x4" graduation plan to a 22-credit Foundation High School Program that allows students to earn endorsements in specific areas of study by completing four additional credits. The endorsement areas are listed below:

     

    • Arts and Humanities Endorsement 
    • Business and Industry Endorsement 
    • Multidisciplinary Endorsement 
    • Public Service Endorsement
