Welcome Brack Class of 2024!

We are very excited to work with our Class of 2024 and welcome you to our BRACK Hub!

Our goal is to foster a college-going culture and career exploration, while promoting college awareness, and connecting students to college resources.


In our Hub, students are assisted by College Bound Advisors and mentors from higher education institutions who work together to help students navigate college and careers for AFTER high school. Our partnering advisors include: Trinity University (TUCAC), The University of Texas Youth Engagement Center (UTYEC), Project Stay, and the San Antonio Education Partnership (SAEP).


So students, whether you are enrolling into a College or University, entering into a trade/vocational/technical program, or joining our U.S. Armed Forces- we are here to assist you!
