DHS STEM Requirements
DHS STEM Requirements
This is an addendum to the Dorman High School 2021-2026 Curriculum Guide. It is designed to help STEM students make informed decisions about which courses offered at DFC and DHS are required to remain in the STEM program and which courses offered at both schools can earn STEM credits. Students need to acquire 11 STEM credits during four years at Dorman to earn a STEM diploma. At least one of the 11 credits must be earned in an engineering course.
