Center for Advanced Academics and Accelerated Learning

The Pike County School System is dedicated to preparing its students for educational and career challenges of tomorrow. Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Education provides Pike County School System students additional exposure to STEM concepts while enhancing peer collaboration, problem-solving, and creative thinking skills. The STEM Academy is an educational innovation of the Pike County Schools, designed to enhance overall STEM skills in order to better prepare already well-equipped students for post-secondary education and ultimately STEM careers.

The Pike County School System’s Dual Enrollment STEM Academy is an extension of the elementary/middle school STEM initiative started during the 2015-16 school year. This Dual Enrollment STEM Academy offers college courses that emphasize higher-level mathematics and science concepts while continuing to integrate hands-on, practical application STEM activities

This 3-year program, in cooperation with Troy University, will offer these highly motivated students with challenging STEM material while earning college credit for future STEM-related instruction/education and careers. This program will be a tremendous boost for the students’ futures and to the overall STEM community.
