Our Students

Our 38,000 students come from across Texas, the nation, and the world, drawn to TXST by their determination to enrich tomorrow. More than 40% of them are the first in their families to reach for the dream of a college education. These future educators, entrepreneurs, scientists, engineers, and artists aren’t waiting for tomorrow to make an impression — they’re creating the world they imagine now.
