Vision

Our vision is to make SciTech more than a school; we want to be a launching pad for ideas, for the architects of future technologies, and for success for every student.

What are the measurable outcomes for our students? At SciTech:

Every student succeeds in advanced coursework
Every student selects a specific postsecondary opportunity before graduation
Every student demonstrates the ability to dream, to discover, and to design

 Our curriculum is tailored to students who have a passion for science, technology, engineering or math. Our environment is one of support for students, parents, and faculty. We exist to provide opportunities for students to Dream. Discover. Design. Every day, our students set goals and generate ideas, research and discover answers, and design real solutions for the kinds of real-world problems that they'll face after graduation. There is plenty of support for anyone who needs it and advancement opportunities for those who are ready to move ahead. An innovative schedule provides each student the time and support necessary to prepare for their advanced courses. We have a 1 to 1 laptop program for students.
