STEM Endowment

The STEM Endowment enhances programming for all students in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. STEM education offers a hands-on approach and prepares our students for real world scenarios by developing skills in critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, teamwork, and communication.

Enhancements with relevant technology in our classrooms and STEM related Career Academy programming will complement our mission of creating Leaders for Life, Centered on Christ with a goal of guiding every student toward discovering their God-given talents and graduating with the confidence to lead positive change in the world.
