About Math and Science Teachers Academy
The ADP Math and Science Teachers (MaST) Academy, funded by Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (ADP), was established in January 2006, to enhance the scope and quality of secondary mathematics and science teachers that graduate from UTEP to serve students in schools across the El Paso region. Over MaST Academy's history, it has evolved from a grassroots effort to what is now a model that is validated by the administrations of El Paso area schools and districts. While the first proposed program included scholarship support and monthly workshops, MaST thrives by recognizing and acting upon growth and improvement opportunities.
