At Central Cabarrus High School, the STEM Portfolio is more than a collection of assignments—it is a reflection of each student’s unique STEM journey. Designed to help students explore their interests, recognize their growth, and celebrate their accomplishments, the portfolio provides a meaningful way for students to document their experiences and prepare for life beyond high school.
Throughout their high school experience, students build their portfolios through hands-on STEM experiences, outstanding projects, volunteer service, STEM career conversations, job shadowing, and employability skills development. These opportunities encourage students to connect classroom learning to real-world applications while discovering how their strengths and interests align with future educational and career possibilities.
By their senior year, students bring these experiences together in a digital portfolio that highlights their skills, achievements, personal growth, and readiness for the next step. Whether students plan to attend college, pursue technical education, enter the workforce, or explore another postsecondary pathway, their STEM Portfolio helps them tell their story, communicate their strengths, and demonstrate the experiences that have shaped their future goals.
At Central Cabarrus, the STEM Portfolio is about more than what students have accomplished—it’s about who they are becoming and where their journey can take them.
