BISD Launches SPACE Academy

Brownsville ISD has launched a new SPACE (STEM Program for Aerospace and Careers in Engineering) Academy for 8th grade students who will be entering any of the district’s Early College High Schools (ECHS) in August 2015. The SPACE Academy is closely modeled after the district’s successful STAMP Program. In fact, at several of the BISD Early College High Schools, STAMP and SPACE students will attend the same freshman engineering courses. Applications for the SPACE Academy are available on the BISD homepage. Completed SPACE applications must be submitted to 8th grade counselors at BISD middle schools. The application deadline is Friday, February 20. For questions, contact Roman Gomez, BISD Curriculum Science Specialist, at (956) 698-1654 or regomez@bisd.us
