STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. It is an interdisciplinary, cross-curriculum, real-world process of teaching where core subjects are interwoven, not taught in isolation, much like what students will encounter in this world of global diversity. Rigorous, core curriculum is applied through STEAM-focused projects/activities and aligned to board adopted curriculum, College and Career Readiness Standards [2]

“It’s predicted that by 2018, you will have thousands of jobs that relate to the STEAM or STEM aspect, and many of our students aren’t prepared for it," Principal Andrea Short said. "But we are making sure that Hattiesburg Public School District students are prepared.”
