SPPS Urban Teacher Residency

Saint Paul Public Schools and the University of St. Thomas are extremely excited about our Urban Teacher Residency (SUTR) program!

This program aims to recruit, prepare, support and retain highly qualified teachers from underrepresented backgrounds who reflect our diverse student population in SPPS.
