Welcome to Secondary Teacher Education

​JUMPSTART THE NEXT GENERATION


​Good teachers can change lives! Teachers educate, inspire, mentor and protect students on their journies toward life beyond high school. Along with families, they are tasked with nurturing human beings who are ready to take on college or other training and ultimately careers. Teachers make a difference in the lives of families in communities both big and small.
