Academy
A new partnership between the

that put them on a path to success
in the fields of science, technology,
engineering and math.
The new STEM Academy will open
in August 2015 at Martin High School,
with students from across the district
selected this spring. When the program
is fully implemented, 100 students
each from grades 9 through 12 will
have the opportunity to choose one of
four pathways: engineering, biology/

STEM Academy students also will be
able to advance their STEM education

that include: internships, mentorships,
job shadowing, community service,
enrichment programs and a summer
academy.
