Grow Your Own/Aspiring Teachers Program

GROW YOUR OWN/ASPIRING TEACHERS

Our "Grow Your Own" sessions are for current HCISD employees with a bachelor's degree or working towards a bachelor's degree (completing last year or semester) who have a desire to teach. During the sessions, we will provide useful information on Educator Preparations Programs, certification requirements, interview process and tips, and support to future HCISD teachers! Contact the Dept. of Talent Acquisition for more information at (956)430-9709 or email Email Talent

Our first session will begin September 2024.
