Eagle County School District Continues Focus on STEM Through Ongoing Partnership With Vail Health

Since 2012, principals and teachers throughout the Eagle County School District have collaborated with Vail Health to promote curricula in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math), the arts, and music. Vail Health contributed $55,000 in STEM Curriculum Support during the 2024-25 school year and will provide the same funding for the 2025-26 school year.

This funding empowers local educators to deliver innovative curricula to every student, regardless of socio-economic background. Schools across the district are directing the funds toward Project Lead the Way (PLTW), an organization that creates hands-on classroom environments and empowers students from Pre-K through 12th grade.

“PLTW provides hands-on learning that is available for our students in both Spanish and English,” said Matt Abramowitz, Edwards Elementary School principal. “With our diverse demographic, that type of programming is truly immeasurable.”

Vail Health continues to demonstrate its commitment to collaborating with the school district, helping bridge educational funding gaps that have faced challenges at both the state and federal levels.
