This year will be a transition year for our cluster as we move from Marketing Media & Management to a STEAM cluster.
Our vision as a cluster, is to inspire constant learning and innovation. All cluster students achieve success through rigorous and relevant integrated curriculum focused on critical thinking skills for college and career readiness. Through strong industry/community collaboration, students focus on problem solving skills necessary to create new ideas, products or methods. We foster the community of innovation by:
Offering integrated CTE, core and elective curriculum that is project-based and student centered
Including a variety of instructional delivery practices including direct, collaborative and reflective strategies
Maintaining academic discourse
Supporting struggling students
Creating opportunities for student internships, industry/community visits, mentoring and entrepreneurship
Providing tech support for students
Collaborating regularly with colleagues
Striving for smaller classes with purity within our cluster
