Academic Programs, Student Service Activities and Student Recognition

Discovery - Gifted/ High Achieving Class

Discovery students are the next generation of innovators and problem solvers. Students are embracing STEAM: Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Math through Manufacturing and Robotics. STEAM combines hands-on labs, engineering challenges, and digital investigations that include math and the arts. The students learn skill sets needed for young thinkers and doers to prepare for their future. The goal is to connect learning with real life by discovering pathways between what is learned today and becoming the leaders of tomorrow. We will achieve this goal through hands-on, technology-based activities that promote critical and creative thinking, and challenging, engaging, inquiry-based learning.
