In our newest episode of A Seat at the Table, Chancellor Dr. Mike Flores explores the vital work of the First Responders Academy at San Antonio College – a program that trains more than 500 graduates annually for careers in law enforcement, fire science, correctional science, and emergency medical services.

This episode features a conversation with:

  • Zaida Huerta, a First Responders Academy cadet

  • Chief Manuel Casarez of the Boerne Fire Department

  • Chief John Jahanara of the Balcones Heights Police Department

Together, they discuss what it takes to serve on the front lines and how the Alamo Colleges District is shaping the next generation of first responders through hands-on training, industry-aligned curriculum, and strong public safety partnerships.
