PATHWAY TO STEM DESIGNATION
The STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) designated curriculum is designed for those students who are considering a college major in one of these fields. The students will supplement their college preparatory coursework with an emphasis on STEM-designated classes and experiences. A student may opt into the program in freshman or sophomore year. Upon successful completion, they will receive a designation on their transcript and recognition with a pin at graduation. Requirements for STEM Designation • Minimum of 2 STEM courses per year (Math, Science, and approved Career & Technical Education classes) with a minimum grade in each STEM class of 85% in regular and 80% in honors classes (unweighted) • Maintain a cumulative weighted GPA of 85% or above • One full year of an approved technology class • Completion of at least one Advanced Placement math, science, or computer science class • Completion of four approved STEM experiences • Digital portfolio of experiences
