ENERGIZED FOR STEM ACADEMY, INC. (CENTRAL) 6102 Bissonnet (Gr. 6-8); 9220 Jutland (Gr. 9-12)
The Energized for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Academy (E-STEM) opened in August 2008 on the third floor of Jack Yates High School. It serves students in grades 6-12 who are interested in participating in rigorous and challenging studies in a non-traditional setting. The E-STEM course of studies was designed for creative students who learn best through hands-on experiences and are able to use technology as a springboard to deeper understanding of their academic course work. E-STEM students will be able to earn college credits while still in high school that will prepare them for postsecondary academics as well as technical careers in a variety of fields.
