As
we come to the end of another great year at DRSS, it is time to begin wishing goodbye
to the Seniors. The Class of 2020 has been at the school since the 8th
grade, having spent five years at the school. They were the first class to have
spent their entire DRSS careers at the "new" building on Woodman Drive, and have been here for five
of the seven years of DRSS's existence. The students have been exposed to a wide array of subjects
throughout the years, and will be going into many different careers.

| We're gonna miss you guys! |
Many
of the students at DRSS will be going into the technical fields of Computer
Science and Math. Students, sparked by their work in the Computer Science
course and Calculus have been inspired to study Computer Science at colleges
across the country, including Wright State University and the University of
Michigan. Some of these students would like to continue spending their time
working to program applications, while others want to use their skills to continue
advancing science.
Students
at DRSS have also been inspired by Ms. Whitt and Ms. Campbell for the amazing
opportunities available in the world of Biological Sciences. DRSS students will
be studying biomedical engineering, and some are even pursuing the medicine
track, to have an impact on humanity. These students have also been inspired by
their own personal experiences with disease, including Nathan Keefer, and are
using their personal experiences to motivate their quest to help others. Some
of our students even got into the prestigious program at Ohio State University
for biomedical sciences.
Another
set of students have been inspired by the multi-disciplinary possibilities
afforded by their experience at STEM, and are studying a wide range of fields. Students
are pursuing Criminal Justice and National Security, as well as Economics and
Sports Management. By working on projects at the STEM school from the Economics
and Government class, these students have been prepared in fields extending
beyond STEM. Lee Huntsberger and Justin This will be pursuing linguistics for
use both in translation and international business. It this idea of using one’s
skills in a variety of avenues that has been honed in our years working on projects
in multiple classes.
In
addition to pursuing college opportunities, some students are also working to
pursue their passion in other forms. Some students will be pursuing apprenticeships
to build skills, including carpentry, and continue fostering a love of arts
fostered by the unique liberal arts program at STEM.
Several
students will also be going into the military, representing the Navy Army, and
Coast Guard, and one student, Eric Towe, will even be attending the Naval
Academy. These students have always had a penchant to serve our nation, and are
excited to have the opportunity to learn and hone their skills.
The
students of DRSS have been inspired by their teachers to explore the wide array
of opportunities available in the world, and will continue to succeed in the
real world!
