7th Grade STEM Field Trip

Our 7th grade STEM students had an incredible experience on their field trip to Texas A&M Galveston!
From a hands-on shark dissection to exploring oyster reef ecology and getting a glimpse of campus life, this college exposure trip offered unforgettable learning opportunities. After a fun day of learning, they enjoyed some time in the Galveston Historic District on The Strand and wrapped up the trip with dinner at Fishermanโ€™s Wharf.
Huge thanks to Texas A&M Galveston for hosting us and inspiring our students to dive deeper into science and higher education!
