Alamo Colleges Spring Break March 9-13, 2026
The Scobee Education Center will be closed during the spring break.
Artemis Academy Summer Camp
The 2026 Artemis Academy summer camp is partially sponsored by the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association: Alamo Chapter (AFCEA) with the intent of providing opportunities that inspire middle students to continue in their pursuits of STEM careers on which the future of Bexar County, Texas, and the United States will depend.
To participate in the three virtual After-School STEM club meetings in the spring and the camp the week of July 6-10, 2026, campers must "apply" to the program with a teacher's recommendation and the answers to application essay questions.
We are seeking additional sponsorships to off-set all camp registration fees. If an applicant is accepted, we will provide an update on the status of any fees at that time. Any fees assessed would be less than $100 for the entire program.
Completed forms are to be returned to Mariana Zoll electronically at mzoll3@alamo.edu prior to March 1, 2026. USPS mailed forms must be received prior to this date.
Scobee Teachers' Academy Sponsored by The Boeing Company
K-8th grade public school teachers,
This opportunity filled within four hours! A wait list is forming and if history has taught us anything, there will be openings in July. Contact Mariana Zoll regarding the wait list or removing your registration if you are no longer able to attend. mzoll3@alamo.edu
The Scobee Teachers' Academy is sponsored by The Boeing Company. Only 40 teachers will be accepted to the four-day conference style program for July 20th through July 23rd from 8:30am to 3:00pm. Applicants must be able to attend all four days.
Comments from last year's participants:
"Not only did the academy give me ideas to use in my classroom but they actually gave us the tools to implement the activities."
"I loved the hands-on lessons and modeling provided! I loved that we had time to try out these lessons and collaborate together with other teachers! I loved the emphasis on cross-curricular connections and the very real and practical ways we can start using what we learned immediately!"
"This has been the best, most useful, and most impactful PD I have ever attended. Thank you so much for letting me be here!!!!"
