Academies Under Director Regina McClure
The SciMaTech Academy is a STEM academy for students who are passionate about understanding how the technological world around them works. Our students choose pathways of specialization to focus their curiosity; these include math, engineering, biomedicine, environmental science, and computer science. We are geeks on a mission to enhance Jackson-Reed High School and to engineer the future. SciMaTech began in 1997 and now has 200 students and seven faculty advisors.
Clubs include the "Tiger Pride 2914” FIRST Robotics Team, Math Club, WilsonHacks, Science Club, Greenhouse Club, and Biomedicine Club. SciMaTech is responsible for Jackson-Reed’s pollinator greenhouse garden, Soapstone Creek management, the Annual Family Night Banquet, the FIRST Robotics annual kickoff, the Wilson National Society of Black Engineers Chapter, the Reilly Webb INOVA Blood Drive, the Green Apple Day of Service, Earth Day: Day of Action, and the Academy Capstone Presentation and Celebration.

Expectations & Support
Academy Expectations
At graduation, we like to celebrate our students who meet or exceed academy expectations and requirements with an assortment of honorary regalia. Additionally, for underclassmen, there are yearly benchmarks for students to meet and will recognize students who fulfill or exceed these expectations at the end of each year. For students who are returning to the academy, the points system that was in place last year has been replaced. Please review the respective expectations documents that are attached. Our STEM Academy Director Regina McClure will be visiting classes throughout October to explain this process further. Don't hesitate to reach out with questions.
Expectativas de la academia
En la graduación, nos gusta celebrar a nuestros estudiantes que cumplen o superan las expectativas y requisitos de la academia con una variedad de insignias honorarias. Además, para los estudiantes de los primeros años, hay puntos de referencia anuales que los estudiantes deben cumplir y reconoceremos a los estudiantes que cumplan o superen estas expectativas al final de cada año. Para los estudiantes que regresan a la academia, se ha reemplazado el sistema de puntos que estaba en vigencia el año pasado. Nuestra directora de la Academia STEM, Regina McClure, visitará las clases durante todo octubre para explicar este proceso con más detalle. ¡No dude en comunicarse con nosotros si tiene preguntas!
