Do you know that STEM students can earn Silver or Gold Seals to add to their highschool diploma? Seals are diploma endorsements that recognize the work that students accomplish to learn "employable skills" while making connections across the discipline. Students earning seals and advanced credentials leave highschool with a head start on college and/or career experience!
Check out the different Pathway Courses designed so that students earn Advanced Credentials and Diploma Endorsement Seals!
