Gavit Nationally Recognized for PLTW
Gavit High School is now a Project Lead the Way (PLTW) Certified School. This certification is a national recognition. It honors schools that successfully implement the rigorous PLTW program, and it allows students to apply for college credit for the PLTW classes in which they are enrolled.
This certification is the result of a great deal of work done over the past year by our partnership team. The partnership team consists of Gavit PLTW teachers and administration, representatives from colleges, businesses, and industry, and also parents and other community members. A thorough self-assessment was completed, a site visit and evaluation was done in May, and our final certification report was received just this month.
This certification also reflects Gavit’s commitment to excellence in teaching and doing what’s best for our students. Not many schools implement the ambitious PLTW pre-engineering program. Far fewer are recognized for meeting and exceeding PLTW’s high standards.
If you have any questions or want more information about Project Lead the Way and the classes Gavit offers, the following teachers would love to speak with you:
Connie Romano, Introduction to Engineering Design (IED)
Shaun Kun, Principles of Engineering (POE)
Maureen McGrail, Digital Electronics (DE) and Civil Engineering and Architecture (CEA)
