Delta C-7 School District is partnering with Southeast Missouri State University (SEMO) through the innovative SEMO Educators Advantage program. This collaboration opens new doors for Delta C-7 faculty and staff by providing access to academic growth and professional development opportunities while reaffirming SEMO’s dedication to strengthening educational opportunities across Southeast Missouri and supporting local school districts.
Through the SEMO Educators Advantage program Delta C-7 faculty and staff will benefit from a tuition discount on SEMO’s online programs, including undergraduate, graduate and pathways for paraprofessionals programs. This support enables educators to elevate their qualifications affordably and conveniently, ultimately benefiting the district’s students and broader community.
“The Delta C-7 School District is proud to partner with Southeast Missouri State University in order to help our faculty achieve their academic and professional development goals,” said Dr. Ben Johnson, superintendent of Delta C-7 School District.
SEMO President Dr. Brad Hodson emphasized the University’s commitment to partnerships and supporting local schools.
“Partnering with Delta C-7 is another step in SEMO’s mission to lead, not follow,” said Dr. Hodson. “We’re not just supporting educators, we’re building a powerful network of leaders who are shaping the future of education across the region. With each new partnership, SEMO’s impact grows and we’re proud to be setting the pace.”
The Educators Advantage program is part of SEMO’s broader commitment to educational excellence and workforce development across the region. By building partnerships with schools like Delta C-7, SEMO is making higher education more accessible and affordable for educators, ultimately supporting student achievement and advancing community growth.
