Computer Integrated Manufacturing Emphasis at Palo Verde High School

The Computer Integrated Manufacturing courses at Palo Verde High school offers courses where students can question how are things made? What processes go into creating products? Is the process for making a water bottle the same as it is for a
musical instrument? How do assembly lines work? How has automation changed the face of manufacturing? While students
discover the answers to these questions, they?re learning about the history of manufacturing, robotics and automation, manufacturing
processes, computer modeling, manufacturing equipment, and flexible manufacturing systems.

Medical Academy at Mojave High School

The Mojave Medical Academy has a 3 year program sequence that you can start as a freshman or sophomore.

Research Experience for Undergraduates: Mechanisms of Evolution

Undergraduate projects funded by the REU Site: Mechanisms of Evolution will focus on biological processes, such as mutation, genetic drift, migration, non-random mating and natural selection that drive heritable change. The goals of this proposal are to provide undergraduates with hypothesis-based projects that investigate one or more mechanisms of evolution, promote careers in science, reinforce the connection between genetics and evolution and highlight the accomplishments of evolutionary scholars. At the conclusion of the program, students will present their research results at a scientific colloquium. Students will receive a $5,250 stipend, housing and a travel subsidy.

STARBASE Nellis Program

The program engages students through the inquiry-based curriculum with its “hands-on, mind-on” experiential activities. They study Newton’s Laws and Bernoulli’s principle; explore nanotechnology, navigation and mapping. They are captivated by engineering as they use the computer to design space stations, all-terrain vehicles, and submersibles. Math is embedded throughout the curriculum and students use metric measurement, estimation, calculation geometry and data analysis to solve questions. Teamwork is stressed as they work together to explore, explain, elaborate and evaluate concepts.

Veterans Tribute Career and Technical Academy

Veterans Tribute Career & Technical Academy was introduced to the public with the distinction of being the only school of its kind in the state of Nevada focusing on preparing students for careers in public service. Our school carries a name, befitting the ultimate public servants. Since the founding of our nation, men and women have risked harm’s way, sacrificing their lives and their fortunes, fighting for the very freedom enjoyed today by every United States citizen. These same men and women have left behind family and friends, to make foreign societies democratic in nature, providing basic needs, if not greater opportunity, for their citizens. Given the broad spectrum of their immense dedication, commitment and inspiration, it is only appropriate to pay tribute to our veterans; past, present, and future.
