Designing a STEM Career Shaker parents who work in STEM fields shared their talents at the Middle School’s Design Day in January to talk about real-life applications for science, technology, engineering, and math. In addition to learning about STEM careers, the students participated in fun hands-on challenges presented to them by an architect, financial planner, industrial engineer, graphic designer, consumer brand manager, nutritionist, landscape architect, civil engineer, and physician, among others. To share your STEM skills for the next Design Day, email Gretchen Witt at lauerwitt@sbcglobal.net. 33 Seniors Earn National Merit Honors Thirty-three members of the Shaker Heights High School Class of 2017 have been named Semifinalists and Commended Students in the National Merit Scholarship Program.
