Texas Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (T STEM):As a T STEM academy, Meyer High School focuses on preparing students for careers in science and technology fields. Our goal is to graduate students who are able to assimilate a wide range information in order to address complex issues that face our 21st century society. To this end, our students participate in STEM research projects that involve sophisticated reseach and problem-solving skills--precisely those skills that are most needed in today's workforce. Students are required to participate in a senior STEM research project or a senior internship that will prepare them for a professional career. Students can participate in several STEM-related extracurricular activities at Meyer High, including teams that participate in Team America Rocketry Challenge and the FIRST Robotics competition. |
