On May 30th, MPHS hosted an event called 'STEM Like Me!' in Kayla Carter's & Tyler Marcus' 5th & 6th period classes. It was a huge success and our partners were very pleased! We're hoping to bring this event back next year in an even larger capacity. Here's what our partners had to say about the event:

"Local career exploration program, 'STEM Like Me!', brings the excitement of STEM careers directly into classrooms offering hands-on activities and interactions with professionals from various fields. Snohomish STEM and Career Connect NW brought local STEM professionals to Marysville Pilchuck last month with outstanding student survey feedback showing a 71% increase in knowledge of STEM careers and 55% increased desire to pursue a STEM career! This achievement wouldn't have been possible without the dedication and the invaluable support of our partners at Marysville School District and our employer partners from Harmsen LLC, Core Design Inc., NW Ambulance, and Zap Energy. These statistics aren't just numbers; they reflect the passion and dedication of educators like you, guiding students towards rewarding STEM pathways. With your continued support, we're nurturing the next generation of innovators, problem-solvers, and leaders. Thank you for your commitment to inspiring and empowering students through STEM education!
