We support Northside Independent School District’s mission by encouraging the community to strive for personal excellence and lifelong learning beyond the classroom.

Adult & Community Education

Interested in Teaching? We are always looking for experienced instructors and new course ideas. Our instructors come from varied backgrounds, from Northside teachers to business leaders, and all share one characteristic: a passion for sharing their area of interest.

If you have an idea for a class, please visit our website and submit a proposal detailing the course you would like to teach and what makes you the perfect person to teach it. Our coordinators review all applications based on our program needs and student requests. We plan four to five months in advance for our semesters, and work to select seasonally-appropriate classes. If your proposal fits a need, the coordinators will be in touch to further discuss your ideas.
