In place of a failed attempt to bring full-fledged Focus Academies to all Sumner County schools (due to lack of available funding), the School System is poised to emphasize STEM disciplines and STEM skills in all high schools beginning in the 2013-14 academic year. STEM stand for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. It is the academic focus most parents recommended in a survey about Focus Academies.
This story details the district's STEM plans -- including the fact that STEM can be embedded in current curriculum and/or implemented as teachers retire and are replaced with STEM-focused teachers.
All high schools will have a designated STEM emphasis, with Hendersonville High adding Arts to become a STEAM school.
