Ohio STEM Committee announces recent STEM School designees

6/5/2023

Ohio’s STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Committee recently approved the following schools for five years or five additional years of STEM School Designation:

  • Metro Early College High School received five additional years of STEM Designation starting in the 2022-2023 school year.
  • Baldwin Road Junior High School received five additional years of STEM Designation starting in the 2022-2023 school year.
  • The Dayton Regional STEM School received five additional years of STEM Designation starting in the 2022-2023 school year.
  • Indian Hill Primary School received five years of STEM Designation starting in the 2023-2024 school year.
  • Indian Hill Elementary School received five years of STEM Designation starting in the 2023-2024 school year.
  • Hawkins STEMM Academy received five years of STEM Designation starting in the 2023-2024 school year.

These schools have exhibited the qualities of STEM education outlined by the Ohio Quality Model for STEM and STEAM Schools. To be STEM or STEAM Designated, Ohio law requires that schools exhibit a working partnership with both public and private entities, including higher education entities and business organizations, and evidence that the school submitting the proposal will offer a rigorous, diverse, integrated and project-based curriculum to prepare students for college, the workforce and citizenship and that:

  • Emphasizes the role of science, technology, engineering and mathematics in promoting innovation and economic progress and incorporates scientific inquiry and technological design;
  • Includes the arts and humanities; and
  • Emphasizes personalized learning and teamwork skills.

The list of all STEM and STEAM-Designated schools and school equivalents and a map of their location is available on the Department’s STEM and STEAM School webpage.

The Ohio STEM Committee consists of the superintendent of public instruction, representatives from the departments of Higher Education and Development, and four appointed members of the public with expertise in business or STEM fields.
