Heritage Education Seminar
The San Antonio Conservation Society offers an annual seminar for
secondary school teachers to educate and promote preservation so that
they in turn will pass this vital information onto our youth. The day
varies from guest lecturers, educators, or tours. Please contact The
Society if your school is interested in participating.
