Program Overview

Students completing a STEM Pathway have the opportunity to earn college credit through College in the High School classes. Students can also earn advanced placement credit through AP testing. STEM students are required to complete a senior capstone research project and participate in the Washington State Science and Engineering Fair and the Central Sound Science and Engineering Fair. This requires extensive research, leadership, organization, professionalism, and teamwork. This work is an excellent experience to promote as they begin college applications and future planning. Students also have the opportunity to be members or compete in several Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSO clubs). These extracurricular activities offer connection, teamwork, leadership, community involvement, and a choice for competitive events, from regional to national levels. This year we had several regional and state competitors as well as national qualifiers in our CTSO competitions! Finally, students have shown excellence in their depth areas and many students receive acceptance into their first choice schools.

At the end of each summer, the CPA hosts a get-together for all Challenge families. We look forward to reconnecting after the summer break, meeting new families, and kicking off the year with our first general meeting. This year, it will be a picnic instead of a shared potluck as in prior years. Please plan to bring a picnic lunch for your family, and CPA will provide beverages. Save the date for Sunday, August 28th from 11am-1pm at the Lynndale Park picnic shelter!

Each summer, the CPA organizes meet-ups for new and existing families. These are informal events where kids can play and parents can socialize. There are current CPA parents at each event to answer any questions new families might have about the transition, the program, or the CPA and PTA.
