The School of Pre-engineering is a small learning community that encourages individual connections through a unique combination of academic rigor, relevant workplace experiences, and caring relationships. Students have the opportunity to prepare for careers in the fields of engineering, architecture, or manufacturing systems. This curriculum is fully supported by materials and equipment including smart boards, classroom performance systems, portable wireless laptop computers, state of the art computer aided design software, and a magnificently equipped manufacturing systems lab. Project based learning is emphasized in all classes to maximize student engagement. Our goal is for every student to graduate college ready. We believe that "The School of Pre-Engineering at Atkins High School believes in and is committed to demonstrated leadership based on a foundation of respect and responsibility." Doug Gerringer
