Hispanic Alliance for Talented Students (H.A.T.S.)

General Information

H.A.T.S. is a new TSC program that supports and empowers Hispanic students while promoting cultural understanding.. Each academic year, a new group of students from Leon, Gadsden, Wakulla, and nearby Florida counties is invited to join.

Students in the program take the same classes, join career sessions, and do activities to build skills and confidence.
