Golden High School has developed a STEM course plan consisting of manufacturing technology courses, art courses and higher level science and math courses culminating in a upper level student directed STEM capstone class where students apply engineering and science concepts. Students who fulfill the state requirements can earn a diploma with a STEM Endorsement.
In May of 2017, Colorado State House Bill 17-201 was signed into act and declared the opportunity for school districts to be able to offer STEM endorsed diplomas.
