BUILDING AND INVESTING IN OUR FUTURE EDUCATORS

ABSS is excited to offer a Grow Our Own Program for high school students interested in pursuing a career in teaching.  Interested students will apply to be part of the Teacher Scholars Program.  Opportunities such as field experience and job shadowing will expose them to the responsibilities and requirements of teaching as a profession. 

Highlights of the Program

• Students remain at their home high school.

• Fall Applications are due March 31st!  1st priority is given to rising juniors and seniors.

• Requirements of the program include internships and community service/volunteer work.

• Access to attend the Teacher Cadet State Conference and other special events.   

• Students accepted to the program will receive free textbooks for their ACC classes while in HS. (Maintain an unweighted gpa of 2.5 or higher)

• Students interested in completing an Associate in Arts Teacher Preparation degree from ACC and transferring to Elon University can join the Alamance Scholars cohort via ACC.

Vision of the Scholars Program

Support ABSS High School students who have a desire to become a K - 12 teacher and come back home to ABSS upon college graduation.
