The importance of identity, celebrating our unique strengths and characteristics, can’t be under estimated. At Blair, our youngest learners are digging into their “All About Me,” unit, to learn about themselves and what makes each of us special! They made their our own faces and handprints to celebrate their unique features and personalities. Chicago Public Schools

A new space designed for big ideas. 💡🔬💻

Johnson STEAM Elementary School celebrated the completion of its $15 million renovation, which includes new third-floor STEAM labs, maker spaces, a computer lab, and classrooms, giving our students more opportunities to learn by doing, explore new ideas, and create while deepening their knowledge and skills in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics.

This renovation is part of a larger $40 million investment in STEAM schools across the District, supported by TIF funding approved by the Chicago City Council and CPS capital funding. Together, these efforts advance the District’s vision of providing our students with a well-balanced STEAM education that begins in elementary school and continues through high school, preparing more graduates for in-demand STEAM careers.

Full STEAM Ahead Wildcats!
