The impact on our school community cannot be overstated. This means that our school will offer a comprehensive science, technology, arts, engineering, and math program. We will develop this program from the proverbial "ground up" and will include, among other things, problem and project based learning in all classes, professional learning for teachers aligned to the STEAM program, and an abundance of elective courses also aligned to the STEAM program. The goal is to enhance the learning experiences of students and prepare them the skillsets to succeed in college and in their careers.
