STEM

(SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATH)

Collaboration and opportunity mark La Salle’s extensive STEM program. All ninth graders begin with thorough practical and ethical training for their digital tablet devices and collaborate in La Salle’s Exploratorium within core STEM disciplines: programming to digital research to three-dimensional visualizations. From this common base, students venture into 40 elective choices, including a nationally recognized Microsoft

IT program, advanced programming, digital design, engineering, music business and technology, multi-media production, forensic science, and AP offerings in biology, chemistry, three levels of physics, and environmental science. Co-curriculars include a nationally recognized lab manager program, competition at three levels of robotics, and community and scholarly opportunities to present research and projects.
