STEM Certification

Scranton recently went through an accreditation process to earn STEM certification. Two judges came to SES and spent two days reviewing evidence, visiting classrooms, and interviewing stakeholders. After two days, the judges met with the leadership team to review their findings. They determined that SES met the requirements and granted STEM certification! STEM certification “Demonstrates a school’s ongoing commitment and capacity to prepare students for STEM fields of study and work and communicates to postsecondary business and industry leaders that the school is committed to driving higher levels of student achievement.” Scranton will now have the opportunity for continuous training and improvement to help grow and train students using real world problems. Congratulations SES on this accomplishment!

Palmetto’s Finest Announcement

Scranton Elementary received the second visit from Palmetto’s Finest in February. The visit went wonderfully, and the judges were impressed with the students and the welcoming feeling in the school. On March 21st, the committee will announce the winners via live steaming on ETV. The entire school will gather in at Lake City High School to watch this announcement and to celebrate this amazing accomplishment. Congratulations SES!
