S.T.E.M.

S.T.E.M. is short for science, technology, engineering and mathematics, but it’s much more than all of that.  S.T.E.M. learning involves problem-based units of study that incorporate critical thinking and scientific processes.

The Foundation recognizes that the demand for workers with S.T.E.M. skills is increasing at every level; by instituting S.T.E.M. practices at Henderson Middle School we hope to better prepare your child for the future workforce.

HMS started with selected S.T.E.M. teams. It now has a certified S.T.E.M. program. S.T.E.M. is being taken school-wide, all teachers are becoming trained, and we are working toward full S.T.E.M. certification for the entire school.
