Who we are
Mission Statement: The Weyauwega STEM Academy High School creates a foundation of excellence by empowering and inspiring students for success in tomorrow's world.
Vision Statement: Our vision is to prepare students for tomorrow's world by providing equitable learning opportunities by building a community that values strong connections, embracing innovation, forward-thinking, and adaptability. Through project-based, hands-on learning and community-based field trips, we aim to create meaningful and lasting connections that foster a deep understanding of the world around us. With a focus on preparedness, we empower individuals to be proactive and ready for future challenges while also embracing the opportunities that arise. We believe that by working together, we can create a bright and sustainable future for generations to come.
Weyauwega STEM Academy High School will offer the opportunity for students to participate in college-level courses at both the technical college (2-year) and 4-year college levels, apprenticeship programs, and mentor programming. Community partnerships will allow Weyauwega students to apprentice with local businesses that fit their interests, preparing them for a college pathway or direct entry into the workforce. The Academy does not have only one type of learner with one path after high school. We know that we will be attracting students who might not otherwise find success in a traditional high school setting, but at the Wega STEM Academy, they will because of the hands-on nature of the curriculum and the opportunities for work-study. We also know we will be attracting high flyers who want to get a jump on college classes and have the autonomy to move at a more rigorous and advanced pace in their studies. Within PBL, there is room for this diverse population of learners, and they will all be better prepared for what comes after high school, which could be moving directly into a career, a technical diploma, or a 4-year college.
