Our Purpose
The purpose of our Leadership & STEM Academy is to instill in our students a desire for learning, increasing their graduation rates, engaging in non-traditional subject matters and career choices, and helping them also develop leadership skills. These skills will allow them to self-navigate and make critical choices in their lives that result in positive outcomes. We provide mentoring and education for a lifetime.
