Teachers from Yerger and BHE participated in an exciting summer professional development with Arkansas A+, where they explored how to integrate STEAM into their curriculum through music, art, movement, and more. This training, in partnership with our Magnet Program, sparked creativity and collaboration — and we can’t wait to see these engaging activities come to life in the classroom!

Thank you for your time, energy, and dedication — Mrs. Rowe

Yerger Middle School’s Project Lead The Way (PLTW) program, led by Matthew Molloy and Eddra Phillips, received the prestigious 2024 Distinguished Program Award from PLTW! PLTW is a non-profit organization focused on STEAM education, offering students hands-on, project-based courses that foster critical skills like problem-solving, creative thinking, collaboration, and communication.

By engaging in real-life scenarios and solving complex problems, Yerger students step into the shoes of professionals—like engineers and medical detectives—gaining a deeper understanding of the world around them. This award recognizes Yerger’s commitment to empowering students, increasing access to STEAM education, and fostering high levels of engagement and achievement. PLTW courses at Yerger include exciting programs such as Medical Detectives, Flight & Space, and Automation & Robotics, where students take charge of their learning and prepare for future careers in some of the most dynamic fields.
