It's Not Just Who You Know...It's Not Just Who You Know...

It's also about who knows you. With deep connections in the community, our faculty can get you in front of the right people – a distinct advantage over students pursuing education degrees at other institutions.

We’ve recruited many UST graduates over the years. We continue to be impressed by how prepared they are to succeed in HISD classrooms.
