STEM school earns Vancouver district distinction

Bagley Downs — Vancouver Public Schools was named one of District Administration magazine’s monthly Districts of Distinction for November 2015. The district was honored for Vancouver iTech Preparatory’s focus on a science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) curriculum. The magazine honors districts for initiatives that benefit students and lead the way for other districts to follow. Vancouver was one of 30 honorees this month, and one of three in Washington. It’s the second award for the district, as Vancouver was named a District of Distinction in 2014 for its Family-Community Resource Centers.
