Vision


Our organization strives to be a world-class institution for the studies of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Our goal is to consistently produce graduates who are lifelong learners, innovators, prepared for success in college, careers, and citizenship in a global society.

    1. Mission


(Our Promise to Our Students)

We will provide all of our students with the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed in college and pursue careers related to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Through the use of engaging, research-based instructional strategies, a nurturing learning environment, and a network of support from parents, community and business partners, we will ensure that every student achieves academic success and personal fulfillment.



    1. Philosophy


The STEMS community believes in the dignity and worth of all individuals. We believe all students possess unique and valuable qualities which, when developed, will enable them to be thoughtful and constructive members of society. Personal growth occurs through participation in a variety of academic, athletic, artistic, and community programs, and in the relationships students form with peers and adults in a small school.

    1. Values


Our community recognizes that the path toward a fulfilling and happy life requires the steady practice of enduring values. At the STEMS, our values are embodied in one word: PERFECTION. We strive to positively reinforce these values with our students.

Preparation — the work or planning done in advance in order to be ready for a future event

Effort — the mental or physical energy or determination that is exerted in order to achieve a goal or overcome a particular difficulty

Respect — appreciation of and esteem for oneself, for others, and for the diversity of opinions and backgrounds at the STEMS and in the larger community
Fairness — actions and or treatment of all members of the STEMS family characterized by justice and impartiality

Excellence — producing work that is of very high quality, outstanding, superior, and impressive

Courage —ability to make difficult decisions, to face danger, difficulty, uncertainty, or pain without being overcome by fear or being deflected from a chosen course of action

Trustworthiness— a high regard for truth, sincerity in action, and genuine concern for honor and integrity

Innovation— the quality that enables students to explore new ideas, to create imaginative solutions or inventions

Obedience—following instructions, complying with rules or regulations, or submitting to somebody’s authority

    1. Strategic Goals


  1. To provide extra help and support for students through extended day activities, mentoring programs, and expanded community partnerships.

  2. To actively engage students in learning that challenges them to think at high levels, solve complex problems, explore ideas and issues, and complete quality work.

  3. To effectively use test data to assess student progress and develop intervention or enrichment activities for students.

  4. To allow students to meet or exceed expectations on standardized tests.

  5. To establish a continuous professional learning community that promotes high student achievement.

  6. To involve students through the use of diverse mathematics resources and activities in order to broaden and increase interest in mathematics competency.

  7. To implement an interdisciplinary approach that pervades core curricula and real-life applications.

  8. To implement an inquiry-based curriculum that allows students to construct their own learning.

  9. To foster a shared relationship with all stakeholders.

  10. To provide students with a vertical curriculum that will afford them an opportunity to graduate with a college preparatory diploma.

    1. Official Work Day for Most Certified Staff Members


The school day for teachers begins at 8:00 AM and ends at 3:30 PM. These hours must be spent on the campus each day unless permitted by the principal or designee. No staff may leave school early except by special approval granted from the principal or designee. Faculty and staff members are required to:

  • Clock in immediately as they arrive to work each day.

  • Check their mailboxes each morning after clocking in, after lunch, and each afternoon prior to leaving.

  • Reserve Tuesdays for staff and school-related meetings or training.

  • Reserve Wednesdays for parent-teacher conferences.

Additionally, non-teaching time during the school day should be used for planning and/or parent conferences.

    1. Sign-in procedures


For additional information about the workday, refer to page 12 of the APS personnel Handbook.

  • Upon entering the work site, all staff members are required to clock in, then sign their names and the time of arrival on the appropriate space on the “Daily Register.” If you are going on a field trip and have a supply teacher for the day, do not clock or sign in.

  • Regular Atlanta Board of Education employees are considered on time if they clock in no later than 8:00 am. There is no 15-minute grace period.

  • The Principal’s designee or the Principal will closely monitor staff members clocking/signing in at work. If a staff member reports an incorrect sign-in time, the secretary or assistant principal will write the correct sign-in time in the tardy space on the sign-in register. All time are reported based on the time on the Kronos clock located outside the Main Office.

  • When a staff member reports to work after 8:01, the employee must clock in, then sign in and report his/her arrival time under the heading “If Tardy” on the sign-in register. The employee also must properly code the reason for being tardy; otherwise, the code will reflect code-20, “Unexcused absence.”

  • Refer to policies GARA-R and GARB-R (1) for additional information.
