Welcome to Wilckens STEAM Academy at Hillcrest! I am honored to be the principal of this innovative school that is working to promote critical thinking, problem-solving, exploration, collaborative learning, creativity, and innovation within our students.

STEAM is a caring school that believes in partnerships between staff, parents, students, and the community. The mission of STEAM, a leader of STEAM innovation, is to ensure that all students flourish as individuals of character and advocates of their own learning through the school community distinguished by:

•a culture of independence and collaboration

•a global outlook based on a foundation of character

•a focus on problem-solving and critical thinking

• real-world experiences with integration throughout all subjects

Throughout the learning experiences at STEAM, we will continuously focus on science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics through a Project Based Learning (PBL) approach. I look forward to seeing everything our students are able to accomplish and create throughout the school year!
