South San Antonio teachers are passionate innovators. They believe in the power of an excellent education to change the lives of students, and they desperately want to build a game-changing school that redefines public education in the city of San Antonio, the state of Texas, and across the country.

They know how critically important it is to develop a classroom culture that drives student achievement and personal growth for each individual child. South San Antonio teachers will teach students to hold themselves to high expectations, both academically and behaviorally, and they tirelessly support students when they fall short of those expectations. Our teachers are hungry to grow as leaders in this work every day, driven by personal reflection, coaching from school leadership, and partnerships with transformational colleagues.
