MISSION CONTROL

POST-SECONDARY

MIDDLE

SCHOOL

HIGH SCHOOL

STEM: Allows disciplines to focus on cross collaboration between middle school staff, high school staff, and post-secondary. STEM: Allows for inter-disciplinary, project based learning combining elements of one or more focuses of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.

Collaboration between

‘like-type’ programs no

matter what level or

what building.

Knowledge is not

proprietary. We MUST

collaborate to

implement, develop

and sustain this vision.
