Some things I like about STEAM are my classmates, the projects, and Mrs. Garrett. I have enjoyed the projects I have done. I enjoyed making my own website and working on a snap circuit. Kai L., Class of 2030

Our Middle and Upper School Smart Lab is designed to cater to the unique needs of each student. Here, students engage in exciting projects that tap into their creativity and strengths, while also learning how to work effectively in a team with minimal guidance. Through these experiences, they develop critical thinking skills that will help them tackle real-world problems and prepare them for STEAM-related careers. Mrs. Garrett, HLT SmartLab Facilitator
