Mrs. Marie Ernst, Principal, and Mr. Brian Jacobs, physics and math teacher, were trained in stategic plan analysis for STEM schools through the Luzerne County Intermediate Unit 18 in the fall of 2017. We performed the analysis of the school, with the help of LIU 18, and have been working with all faculty to implement the improvements at the academy. We are working to make our school even better.
