Gen TX hosts video contest for high school students

The Generation TX (pronounced “Generation Texas”) movement to promote a college and career-ready culture in communities statewide has declared November 18-22 to be GenTX Week. To celebrate GenTX Week, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB), creators of the Generation Texas movement, invites all high school students to participate in the first-ever GenTX video contest dubbed Take the Challenge!
Students are being asked to create an original 2-3 minute Take the Challenge! video that creatively reflects how they’re challenging themselves to follow a successful path to college and career. Students are asked to show in the video how they’re taking steps for one (or all) of these things:
Enrolling in a rigorous academic plan in school
Involving parents and family as they prepare for college and career
Preparing right now to fill out the best college application through ApplyTexas.org and to pay for college (high school seniors only)
