Spring ISD STEM-Focused Elementary Schools

Spring ISD is taking bold steps to prepare students for the future by launching STEM-focused learning at Reynolds, Clark, Thompson, and Heritage Elementary schools—building a strong foundation in critical thinking and problem-solving starting in kindergarten. These campuses are leading the way in making science, technology, engineering, and math a core part of everyday learning.

What makes this initiative different is its hands-on, project-based approach. Students aren’t just learning about science and math—they’re building, designing, coding, and collaborating every day.

The curriculum driving this work is Project Lead the Way, a nationally recognized STEM program now available across these schools thanks to grant funding. From coding to engineering challenges, students are diving deep into real-world learning.

This is more than just a program. It’s a movement to make science, technology, engineering, and math a daily part of learning—and a natural part of every child’s future.

Education is the foundation for our future, STEM education is the leveller for all to be successful in the future needs of humanity.
