Are you a professional in a STEM field or do you know someone who is? Then we need your help! One of the main components of the 10th grade STEM academy is coordinating with professionals in STEM fields to encourage and guide our students through their educational journey. There are several ways to get involved: Visit our classrooms as a guest speaker, host a field trip, attend our annual career day, or become a year-long mentor for one of our capstone groups. 

This year’s career day will take place on Friday October 2 at TC Williams High School. Last year we had professionals in various fields from veterinary science to engineering and law. Our students enjoyed learning about their many career options and were able to network with over twenty local professionals. 

If you are interested in attending our career day or becoming involved in other ways please fill out or pass along our contact form. You can also contact Jen Ushe at Jennifer.Ushe@acps.k12.va.us for more information.
