STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) is part of the new re-design curriculum for 9th grade.  It takes the place of Technology Discovery.  STEM is a rigorous course focusing on 21st Century workforce skills including teamwork and communication.  It will include study in leadership, interpersonal and self-directional skills.  STEM includes math, engineering, and technology concepts relevant in the workplace.   Students will use an online environment for much of the course requirements which means they will be competent in using the Blackboard online learning system.

As part of Redesigning Education for the 21st Century, STEM has been added as a pilot program at South Pike High School. STEM, which stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, prepares students for a future in high school academics and vocational courses.  Students learn leadership skills, interpersonal and self-directional skills, how to prepare for the 21st century workforce, and more important skills. This class is taught by Mrs. Holbrook and Mrs. Martin.
