Does your company support STEM initiatives?
If so, we want to know! Saint Agnes School is in the process of integrating a new Engineering course into the current high school science curriculum, while also continuing to offer after-school opportunities through our co-curricular Engineering Club. Additionally, we are working hard to advance our well-established science program with a full renovation of our high school science labs (summer 2017). This new, state-of-the-art setting will undoubtedly support our forthcoming Engineering course and the club, but various components, including durable equipment, consumable supplies, and financial resources, are still needed in order to make this initiative an ongoing success. We are looking for corporate partners who are interested and able to assist. Many local companies are involved in advancing education opportunities in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math, and perhaps it's you or the company for which you work! Please contact Mr. David Crompton with any leads or for more information.
