What we do

CAST Teach High School opened in August of 2022 on the campus of Stevens High School and is San Antonio’s first school dedicated to careers in education. CAST Teach was created in partnership with Northside ISD, the CAST Schools Network, and the University of Texas at San Antonio’s College of Education and Human Development. 

With the support of all three organizations, the school will rally multiple industries to create future educators that will transform our community. The school will work alongside students and families to identify and nurture their passions, while providing them with key skills relevant to careers in education, such as: teaching, counseling, library studies, and coaching.

Advanced Placement Courses

Advanced Placement (AP) courses are college-level classes offered in high school that are more challenging than standard courses. 

• Students who score well on the year-end AP exam can earn college credit or advanced placement, potentially saving time and money on tuition.
• These courses help students develop college-level skills in critical thinking and problem-solving, and colleges view them as a sign that a student has challenged themselves academically.   
• Colleges and Universities in and out of state determine the number of credits to be awarded depending on the student's AP Exam Scores (AP exams are taken in May).
