Our Mission is to work with students, families, schools and community resources to
enrich a student's success in school.
Adult Education
It is the desire of Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD that all students receive a diploma.
Sometimes, though, circumstances get in the way of opportunities and students have to find other ways
to obtain a diploma or GED. CFBISD has set up various programs to help students "catch up" in
credits or enroll in one of the GED programs. Falling behind does not mean staying behind.
