Gov. Steve Sisolak announced that 10 additional schools have met the requirements to be designated as an official Governor’s STEM School. The 10 new schools serve urban and rural students throughout southern and northern Nevada. Clark County School District had four schools designated.
“With more and more innovative, high-tech companies doing business in Nevada, STEM education is more important than ever,” said Sisolak. “These 10 schools embody the characteristics and practices of excellent STEM education that our students need to be prepared for careers and for life and I am proud to welcome them as the newest Governor’s STEM Schools.”
The four CCSD schools receiving the designation are:
- Rodger D Gehring Elementary, Las Vegas
- Lied STEM Academy, Las Vegas
- Jim Bridger Middle School, North Las Vegas
- Frank Lamping Elementary, Henderson
Designation as a Governor’s STEM School denotes that the school meets the highest standards of STEM instruction and is a model for schools around the state. For parents and the community, the designation also communicates the level of high-quality STEM education that can be expected at the school.
