The Center For Advanced Studies in Science, Math, & Technology
Wheeler High School's Center For Advanced Studies in Science, Math, & Technology began teaching classes in 1999. Since then, it has accepted about 100 rising freshmen every year and has become a highly respected magnet program. Wheeler's program is a member of the National Consortium for Specialized Secondary Schools of Mathematics, Science, and Technology, offering an advanced curriculum to highly motivated students. The rigorous coursework allows magnet students to begin taking college-level courses in math and science by the time they are in eleventh grade and participating in internships at local businesses by the time they are in the twelfth grade.
