Project Lead the Way Award
All of our elementary buildings received the PLTW Distinguished School recognition for this past school year. This recognition means we are empowering students to thrive in an evolving world and achieving exemplary results from our PLTW Launch programs. Our elementary schools are five of 404 PLTW Launch programs across the country to receive recognition this year. We will be promoting this with a news release and free school banners to hang in our hallways. We’re so proud of our teachers and students for engaging in critical and creative thinking, building teamwork skills, and developing a passion for and confidence in STEM subjects as they continue through our middle and high school programs.
