Signature Programs Taking Off in Irving ISD
Next year, each Irving ISD traditional high school will house its own Signature Program. A Signature is a theme, chosen by a school and its surrounding community, to connect classroom instruction with real-world situations and workforce-relevant skills.

The new Signature Program at Nimitz High School is Energy & Environmental Entrepreneurship, involving a partnership with Texas Tech University.
MacArthur High School began the Architecture, Construction & Engineering (ACE) program last year, and it has grown into an even bigger program this year.
These Signature Programs bring together educators with local business and community leaders to make classroom instruction relevant, interesting and challenging for students.
