Welcome to Brusly High School's Educators Rising course. Found in 26 states, in over 2,400 schools and with 43,000 student members, Educators Rising is a free national membership organization for aspiring teachers and their mentors. Looking to directly impact teacher shortage, elevate the teaching profession, and celebrate and encourage diversity within the profession, West Baton Rouge has entrusted BHS and Port Allen High School with a beautiful partnership that will help us bring positive attention to this prestigious work while "growing our own" teachers to lead the next generation of students in our community. Through the work of the students in the pilot program, 35 Louisiana schools are currently offering classes of their own this school year! Learn about them here!
