Visit from Cabarrus County Business

Ms. Hahn had a Quality Engineer from Legrand come talk to her STEM MATH III Honors Classes on September 9th. The talk applied to specific content standards (normal distributions) while also exposing them to what a real engineer does within a specific business.

STEM Teacher Swap Day

When we met as a group in August it was very clear that STEM teachers want to work together and learn about what each other is doing in their classrooms! One way to really learn about what is happening in our other schools (and even in our own) is a STEM teacher swap. If you would like to dive in to the realities of another teacher this is your chance. Please fill out the form by October 3rd!


You will be notified the week of October 5th

Swap Day: November 5th, 2014
