Humble High School T-STEM Academy

Humble High School students following the STEM Endorsement (science, technology, engineering and math)

have an exciting new option – the HHS T-STEM Academy. T-STEM Academy takes students beyond the STEM Endorsement.

Texas Education Agency (TEA) says that Texas Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics academies are rigorous secondary schools focusing on improving instruction and academic performance in science and mathematics-related subjects and increasing the number of students who study and enter STEM careers. T-STEM Academies are demonstration schools and learning labs that develop innovative methods to improve science and mathematics instructions.

Principal Donna Ullrich saw a need for additional STEM enrichment and applied to TEA to create a T-STEM Academy here at HHS. The first cohort of T-STEM Academy students began this past fall with ninth graders. “The T-STEM Academy is a school-within-a-school model and will be housed in an area of Humble High School,” said Mrs. Ullrich. “T-STEM Academy students will have access to state-of-the-art equipment such as 3D printers, a design makerspace, digital cameras, virtual reality, engineering software, as well as field experiences such as overnight trips to NASA, engineering job site visits, and more.”

Instructional Administrator Kimberly Mouser said “In our T-STEM Academy, students will use Project-Based Learning (PBL) to learn by doing, interacting with industry experts in their fields, and gaining valuable insight into the careers they seek. As students work and learn, they earn college credits and industry certificates through Lone Star College-Kingwood, which will allow them entry into a robust job market of STEM-related careers.”

In order to be designated as a T-STEM Academy, the TEA reviews curriculum and artifacts each year to gauge the level of successful impact on students and their learning. Keeping the curriculum in line with industry standards and needs, Mrs. Ullrich meets regularly with her T-STEM leadership team and the T-STEM Advisory Board consisting of industry experts from multiple companies, including Google, Exxon Mobil and Harris County.
