The Westside Master Class Series focuses on careers in STEAM, science, technology, engineering, art and math, and is held at the school on the last Thursday of every month.
“We continue to equip our students with the skills they need to compete in the real-world, showing them a multitude of career possibilities in all areas of STEAM,” stated Henry Wells III, campus principal and head. “We are committed to educating strong servant leaders who influence their relationships, communities, and world for the glory of God,”
Rehmann’s Angela Teamer, Advanced Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor, and a Certified Public Bookkeeper summed up the message well by telling the students, “You guys are going to do well in the math and technology division, but we have to give back because so many other people gave to us we have to give back, and that’s what we do.”
