Hall High Goes Full STEAM Ahead for
2020
Our stakeholders will recall that Hall
High underwent a name change, designating it as a STEAM magnet high school. The
magnet designation will allow students throughout the district to choose to
attend Hall. STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) programming
is aimed at meeting student’s interests while also preparing them for college
and careers. The Ford Next Generation model will also be a part of the new
programming. Interested students and parents may also register at the Southwest Community Center, 6401 Baseline Rd., this Monday, January 27, 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.. Bilingual staff will be available. #FullSTEAMAhead
