Walker Valley High School underclassmen worked with 5th graders from Hopewell, Parkview, Michigan Avenue, Charleston, and North Lee to discover careers, STEM activities and all things high school. The students were greeted by the band and Freshmen Academy counselor, Kimberly Blackaby then taken by class groups on a tour of the school, to attend a CTE class and explore a showcase of STEM related activities. The students completed interest surveys at their elementary schools and this day was to learn more about the careers and discover that they were…Mint to Be a Mustang!

Changing things up due to COVID 19 Bradley Central High School welcomed fifth grade students from Valley View, Waterville, Oak Grove, Taylor, Prospect, and Black Fox in a different way than in times past. Students still took career inventory surveys like in years past and still explored careers options but did so in small groups, participating in classes, visiting FFA farm day, and walking through a CTE gallery of activities. After being greeted by Freshmen Academy Principal, Tyler Rich, students spent time in classrooms with mini lessons in everything from health science to machining and welding. At the end of the day, BCHS hopes to see all of the students in the future as Bradley Bears!
Sophomore and junior meeting at Walker Valley High School to complete the Intent to Participate for Work Based Learning for the 2021-2022 school year. We are excited about placing students in entry level jobs in our community, building employment skills, and helping students jumpstart careers.
We are building a STEM bus. This brand new 40 foot bus is on its way to being converted into the 3D (Dream, Discover, Do) PIE on the Go STEM Bus. This bus will serve students in Bradley and Polk Counties elementary and middle schools with “hands-on” activities linking career and STEM academics! Due to COVID-19 the construction is a bit behind, but we will be rolling in the fall semester.
We are excited as the bus drove into Bradley Central High School today. There is MUCH to do! Now, to get the inside and outside under way with plans to make this a rolling STEM Museum. We are looking forward to moving your way fall of 2021!!!
