SHIPS

The Sam Houston Innovative
SHIPS Locations Partnership for Schools (SHIPS)
is a partnership compromised of
the educator preparation program
at SHSU and the independent
school district partners in the
region of Texas that is served by
the University. Our partnerships
were established in order to create
a mutually beneficial partnership
between us that adds value to all of
our establishments as well as our
future teachers. The SHSU College
of Education is proud to have 75
area districts in SHIPS.
