As part of our journey as a STEM school, we have nine different STEM Learner Profiles that lead to student success. It is our belief that a STEM Learner is a problem-solver who: collaborates, perseveres, has integrity, is innovative, is globally aware, is flexible, has empathy, is a critical thinker, and communicates. Each month we introduce and focus on one learner profile and highlight students who demonstrate the monthly learner profile.
