STEM Resources for Parents

The Nevada National Security Site (NNSA) visited Leavitt MS on 2/25/2025.  Students from Leavitt's STEM classes got to talk with employees and pilots from the NNSA about what it takes to work at the NNSA and what the STEM programs offered at Leavitt can do to open the world of possibilities in career fields for students.
