The girls brought home individual and team state championships in four events:

Three Schools Earn STEM Certification
|
|
Lithia Springs High School, Mason Creek Elementary, and New Manchester Elementary now share the distinction of being among only a handful of schools in Georgia to earn national certification for STEM excellence. All three schools celebrated their certification from the National Institute for STEM Excellence (NISE) during the month of May.
"It is remarkable that three of the first NISE certified schools in Georgia are from our system," said DCSS Science Coordinator Casey Bethel. "This distinction shows that Douglas County strives to be on the cutting edge in providing rigorous and relevant instruction in the STEM areas, equipping students with the 21st Century knowledge and skills to compete globally and to contribute to our rapidly changing world."
More than 20 teachers in these three schools worked all year to earn national certification for STEM teaching, devoting hours to learning the best methods to deliver STEM education to their students.
Pictured above are State School Superintendent Richard Woods and New Manchester Elementary Principal Keith Racine.
