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.
