Southmont Schools is proud to celebrate International STEM Accreditation across all four of our K–8 schools through STEM.org - an achievement that recognizes the incredible work happening every day at Southmont Jr. High School, Ladoga Elementary School, New Market Elementary School, and Walnut Elementary School.

This accreditation reflects years of intentional work by our teachers, staff, students, and community partners to create hands-on, real-world learning opportunities that build creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. From robotics and coding to agriculture, engineering, advanced manufacturing, and beyond, our students are gaining experiences that prepare them for wherever their futures may lead.

We’re incredibly proud of our students and staff - and we think this accomplishment is worth putting on a billboard!
