Proven Student Outcomes in Metro Atlanta STEAM/e and Academic Programs

STUDENT SUCCESS STORY

"I love participating and competing in events that we have...we got to experience what it would be like as a cafeteria manager."

"I've been in this program for about three years. I really enjoy it because there are a lot of activities and things we do that you cannot get at [regular] school. They bring in speakers that come from different jobs like architects and veterinarians. I really enjoy it because it gives us an opportunity to ask questions. I've also made a lot of friends. I've met people from different grades that I normally would have never met, but now I'm best friends with them."
