MISSION CONTROL
POST-SECONDARY
MIDDLE
SCHOOL
HIGH SCHOOL
STEM: Allows disciplines to focus on cross collaboration between middle school staff, high school staff, and post-secondary. STEM: Allows for inter-disciplinary, project based learning combining elements of one or more focuses of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
Collaboration between
‘like-type’ programs no
matter what level or
what building.
Knowledge is not
proprietary. We MUST
collaborate to
implement, develop
and sustain this vision.
