Staff at Hanes collaborates to integrate STEM themes into classroom instruction by developing units of instruction through natural connections in their curriculum. STEM is emphasized in school wide events, such as the annual STEM Olympics, competition based design challenges, community partnerships, events and learning opporunities. Field experiences and Lunch & Learn opportunities are extended to students throughout the school year to enrich and enhance their learning opportunities, career and university exposure. Our Pre-Engineering program, Project Lead the Way, attracts students from across the district to foster and STEM-ulate an ongoing interest in STEM fields.
