  2. RE-DESIGNING HIGH SCHOOL “Our economy can’t succeed unless our young people have the skills that they need to succeed – and that’s what’s happening here at Manor New Tech,” Mr. Obama said. “We’ve also got to start rethinking and redesigning America’s high schools. That’s part of what’s happening here is there’s innovation going on that equips graduates for the demands of a high-tech economy.”

  3. RE-DESIGN BEGINS WITH… EDUCATE TEXAS • T-STEM Academies • ATEMS High School (2009) • Early College Initiative • T-STEM Center – Texas Tech University NEW TECH NETWORK • Project Based Learning • Technology • Culture

  4. Educate Texas (Texas High School Project)
