Since their inception in the 1960s, diversity has been a cornerstone of magnet schools, by prioritizing equity and access for every student. These schools attract a diverse student population with advanced studies in STEM topics, the arts, language immersion, and more.
Magnet teachers and staff create a dynamic environment of teamwork, acceptance, innovation, and engagement to develop the talents of our diverse student population.
Magnet schools prepare students for future careers and successful community engagement by fostering interaction with peers from all backgrounds, as well as providing hands-on experience working with businesses, cultural institutions, universities, and community organizations.
