STEM Class of 2021 Profile

The STEM Academy at GHS serves 9-12th grades. CHHS launched a STEM Academy in 2019-2020 that will serve both 9th and 10th grades in 2020-2021. The program will add a grade each year through 12th grade. Instruction includes a focus on how Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, in combination, allow students to solve problems. Engineering, through design thinking, builds empathy as students consider solutions to campus, local, state, and global issues. Students in the STEM Academy take STEM Pre-AP and AP Courses. 9th and 10th-grade students enroll in STEM core courses, 11th, and 12th-grade students enroll in STEM sections of AP Capstone Courses.

Secondary STEM Engineering Design Process and Habits of Mind

Admission: Our 9-12 program is housed at Grapevine High School and Colleyville Heritage High School utilizing a school-within-a-school approach. Students may only attend their zoned high school campus to participate in the program.  Grapevine Middle School STEM students receive priority seating in the high school programs.

STEM instruction is appropriate for all students prepared for rigorous coursework. 9th-grade students enroll in AP Human Geography. Juniors take AP English or Dual Credit English. Students must have a desire to collaborate and the willingness to stretch their own thinking. If your child has an affinity for science, math, designing and building, problem-solving and collaboration, STEM is a great option!

Students in the STEM Program are required to enroll in a career pathway that may include a CTE Pathway, a Computer Science Pathway or an additional area of interest. Learn more about Career and Technology Education Pathways.

Juniors and Seniors are required to enroll in STEM sections of the AP Capstone Seminar and Research Courses.
