Lenoir County public schools earn state STEM distinction
LENOIR COUNTY, N.C. (WNCT) — Two Lenoir County Public Schools earn statewide recognition after being recommended for State STEM Distinction.
Northwest Elementary and E.B. Frink Middle School were recommended to the State Board of Education to receive North Carolina's STEM School of Distinction designation. This honor, awarded by the N.C. Department of Public Instruction, recognizes schools that demonstrate strong leadership in integrating Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) into their daily instruction across different grade levels and subject areas.
Both schools had to go through a rigorous application and site visit process this school year, showcasing how STEM is embedded not just in specialized classes but in all areas of learning.
Principal Dr. Michael Moon at E.B. Frink Middle School says that STEM education is not only about technology and engineering labs.
'When people think about STEM, they think about our STEM elective and the 3D modeling andthe engineering design process,' Principal at E.B. Frink Middle School Dr. Michael Moon said. 'But what people don't always realize is that STEM is strategies that engage lives.'
