The Innovative Partnership award was announced at the National Consortium of Secondary STEM Schools (NCSSS) Professional Conference on Nov. 6. The NCSSS includes member high schools, many ranked as the best in the country, along with affiliate college, university, summer program, foundation, and corporate members, that share the goals of transforming mathematics, science, and technology education.
The NCSSS Innovative Partnership Award recognizes inventiveness in partnerships between member schools and partner organizations. To receive the award, the partnership must support and advance goals of both organizations, strengthen STEM in the partners’ communities, and provide a replicable model that can be implemented at other member schools.
