We believe in STEM content knowledge: Standard Thirteen. STEM literacy is the ability to identify, apply and integrate concepts from science, technology, engineering, and mathematics to understand complex problems and innovate to solve them. STEM literacy is achieved when a student can apply his or her understanding of how the world works within and across the four interrelated STEM disciplines to improve their local and global community’s social, economic, and environmental conditions. Therefore, we have implemented novel engineering in students' media center courses and technology fairs to showcase student projects and makerspace activities. Students also get this practice in GATE and Environmental Science classes.

Students demonstrate their STEM content knowledge in a variety of ways. During the learning process, students use the Engineering Design Process, hands-on investigations, and group activities to guide their collaborative and problem-solving thinking. Students' final products and creations demonstrate their STEM content knowledge as each is unique, student-led, and developed by that particular student or collaborative group of students. Teachers also practice these skills through their own planning and facilitation of the learning. Leaders are able to analyze student comprehension and knowledge through the MAP assessment (Math & ELA) and Georgia Milestones (Math, ELA, Science).
