PAST SUMMITS
PRESS RELEASE: HOUSTON, TX, May 11, 2026—More than half of Texas students graduate high school without a clear path to a stable career. In Houston, a global hub for energy and aerospace, that gap is especially stark. To close it, Teach Plus Texas and EdTrust in Texas will host a Student Success Summit on May 16, from 3–7 p.m. at Rice University’s Anderson Clarke Center. Teachers from the Houston Policy Fellowship and Teach Plus Texas Policy Fellows who teach in Houston will join community and industry leaders to act on research that prepares all students to earn a postsecondary credential or degree within six years of graduation.

PRESS RELEASE: EL PASO, TX, April 20, 2026—Along the New Mexico–Texas border, more than half of students finish high school without a clear route to a career, or leave before finishing at all. On April 25, Teach Plus teacher leaders from both states will gather at Socorro ISD in El Paso to share what they’ve learned and plan together. The Student Success Summit, co-hosted by Teach Plus Texas and Teach Plus New Mexico, will bring educators, employers, and community partners into the same room to build one regional roadmap for getting students from graduation to a successful future.

PRESS RELEASE: ARLINGTON, TX, March 23, 2026 — More than half of Texas students are crossing the graduation stage without a clear path to a stable career. That’s why Teach Plus Texas Policy Fellows—current classroom teachers from across the state—are conducting statewide research to understand how Texas can create the systems and conditions that enable teachers to prepare all students to earn a postsecondary credential or degree within six years of graduation.
