Pre-Engineering Program
at Lafayette High School
Successfully entering its 10th year, Lafayette’s thriving Pre-Engineering Program currently serves over two hundred students in grades 9-12. It is designed to provide every student with the skills needed to succeed in such mathematically rigorous and technical fields as engineering, architecture, medicine, computer programming, mathematics, biology, chemistry, and physics. The emphasis of the program is on developing higher order thinking skills by using technology to solve real world problems. Students will have the opportunity to see applications of the math and science skills they are learning as well as apply them in the classroom through a challenging mathematics and science curriculum.
