Teacher Cadets

S.C. Teacher Cadet Faculty Sponsor:  Dr. Brooke Hardin Application for Teacher Cadet Admission

The primary goal of the Teacher Cadet Program is to encourage academically able students who possess exemplary interpersonal and leadership skills to consider teaching as a career.

The Teacher Cadet Program is an innovative approach designed to attract talented young people to the teaching profession through a challenging introduction to teaching. The program seeks to provide high school students insight into the nature of teaching, the problems of schooling and the critical issues affecting the quality of education in America's schools. The Teacher Cadet Program is funded through South Carolina's Center for educator recruitment, retention and advancement.
