ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY

Project Lead The Way (PLTW) classes provide hands-on classroom learning experiences. Recommended for all

students interested in pre-med, engineering, math, science, technology, and computers. Students create, design,

build, discover, collaborate and solve problems while applying what they learn in math and science. Studies indicate
that PLTW students score significantly higher on their ACT tests than non-PLTW students. All PLTW classes are
weighted with the exception of IED and PBS.
