Two St Joseph schools have received national recognition for a science and math program.

The Robidoux and Bode middle schools have joined just seven other schools in the state for their Project Lead the Way program.

“PLTW provides a rigorous curriculum that allows students to apply what they are learning in math and science to real-life engineering and technology projects,” said Dr. Jaime Dial, Director of Secondary Education for the St. Joseph School District.

“This recognition is quite an honor for Robidoux and Bode, as well as the teachers who make the program so successful.”

The award recognizes schools which meet national quality standards through the Gateway to Technology program.

There are 110 students enrolled in the program at Robidoux and 91 students at Bode.
