STEM SUCCESS STORIES
The impact of the district’s STEM Academy extends well beyond graduation. Recently, five alumni returned to Edison High School to share their postsecondary experiences and career pathways with current students during a well-attended assembly. Alumni discussed the colleges they attended or are currently attending, internship experiences, and lessons learned transitioning to college and the workforce. They emphasized the importance of hands-on learning, adaptability, and remaining open to opportunities across a wide range of industries and organizations.
During a question-and-answer session, students asked how the district’s STEM Academy prepared alumni for their next steps. Alumni consistently credited the program’s access to advanced technology, applied learning experiences, and emphasis on skill development with helping them feel confident and prepared in postsecondary environments. Students were inspired by the variety of paths alumni have pursued, including engineering, entrepreneurship, and industry roles.
Alumni encouraged students to explore interests, seek out
experiences, and take care of their well-being as they plan for the future. The event highlighted the strength of the district’s STEM Academy and its growing alumni network, reinforcing a culture of mentorship, innovation, and support that connects graduates with current students and helps them envision future possibilities.
