College Visits!

During the month of April, Frontier STEM High School and Frontier School of Excellence participated in several college visits. During their visits, students look for the things that matter the most in their own college experience, such as location size, class size, scholarships, overall school size, etc. It's important for students to discover what they want and need from the college experience, so they can choose the school that best fits their needs.

Lettuce Grow!

At FSI Middle, students are fully engaged in Ms. Rumph's class with the Lettuce Grow hydroponic growing system. This system exposes students to STEM in multiple ways, from understanding how a sustainable system works to grow plants and calculating correct nutrients and water levels to using problem-solving skills to discover issues with plants and make changes and tweaks to help determine what could have gone wrong. Students are currently growing lettuce, spinach, cilantro and arugula. Students voted and next they will be growing strawberries and tomatoes.
