STREAM Career Exploration

As a STREAM school, SCS endeavors to provide relevant learning experiences for our students. Through our Career Exploration, parents are invited to speak to students about their careers, exposing students to the real world applications of their learning.

Your experiences inspire student achievement. Career Exploration links students' interests and potential career paths. A handy student may realize she would make a great engineer; a creative student may see his future in advertising. You can help show our students the bigger picture.  

​All volunteer hours will count towards your Marian Fund!
