San Antonio's top arts high school is moving to UTSA Downtown Campus
UTSA Today
The Henry Ford Academy: Alameda School for Art + Design is bringing its nationally recognized educational program to UTSA’s Downtown Campus beginning Jan. 6.
Due to the City of San Antonio’s extensive renovation of the Alameda Theater complex, where the Alameda School is currently located, an appropriate, temporary learning space was needed. The high school will move to UTSA over the winter break and kick off 2020 in its new home.
Although this is a temporary move for 18 months, it is a win-win for both the school and UTSA.
“Attending high school on a university campus is a tremendous opportunity,” says Jeremiah Montez, superintendent/principal of the Alameda School. “It has the potential to provide Alameda School students with the motivation, focus and a new appreciation for what college can provide and what it takes to succeed. Frankly, we also hope it will increase the number of our graduates who become Roadrunners.”
