Central Cabarrus STEM provides many extracurricular opportunities for our students. ThinkTank (our STEM student council) plans events to form community amongst our students including a bonfire, kick-off day, and lock-ins. Our students also participate in community sponsored competitions and exhibits.
Students participate in a STEM-wide design competition. Their goal was to create a centerpiece that embodied the spirit of our school. The centerpiece was displayed at Lowes Motor Speedway for a luncheon for community partners of the school system.
This event was called the SIDEWALK ART EXHIBIT which was held in downtown Concord, NC STEM students participated in a City-wide Design Competition for Interactive Art Exhibits. They were displayed in a public gallery crawl.

CCHS STEM students hold leadership positions in many clubs and organizations. Below is a complete list of clubs offered at Central Cabarrus High School for our STEM students. Of this list of clubs 12 are specifically related to STEM content and careers. This gives our STEM students the opportunity to select a STEM club that aligns with their interest in a specific area for STEM. Our club time (called Central Connections) is offered every day so students have the opportunity to participate in multiple clubs.
Below are several social media posts highlighting our STEM students and their club contributions to the community.
