SAC Partners with SAISD and CAST for New Medical High School

周三, 10月10日, the 圣安东尼奥 Independent School 区 (SAISD) and 把学校 announced the launch of CAST医学院高中, the third campus in the CAST network. 

According to a SAISD press release, CAST Med will be operated as an in-district charter, and will be open to students across Bexar县 through a lottery. Only 150 spots will be available for the first class which begins in August 2019. 

The application period for the first cohort of ninth graders will begin in November 2018. 

圣安东尼奥学院, with its focus on health careers, will further offer students early access to its medical laboratories and equipment, summer opportunities, and relevant college coursework.

“We are thrilled to continue partnering with CAST and SAISD,” said Dr. Robert Vela, president of 圣安东尼奥学院. “SAC has been involved with 铸造技术 since shortly after its inception, and will have a smooth transition as we expand educational deliverables to CAST Med. Students will benefit from state-of-the-art facilities housed in the Nursing Allied Health Complex and the entire college campus.”  

The Centers for Applied Science and Technology (CAST) is a network of tuition-free, 积蓄, career-themed high schools in 圣安东尼奥 founded by Charles Butt and H-E-B in partnership with area industries. 

CAST Med will be the second of the CAST schools to partner with SAC. 铸造技术, which opened in Fall 2017, is a career-themed high school focusing on coding, 网络安全, 游戏, entrepreneurship and business. 铸造技术 is located downtown at the old Fox Tech High School. The CAST Med campus will be located on the city’s Southside at 2601 Louis Bauer Drive in the Brooks mixed-use development.
