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.

Famous quotes containing the words center, advanced and/or studies:
“Louise Bryant: I’m sorry if you don’t believe in mutual independence and free love and respect.
Eugene O’Neill: Don’t give me a lot of parlor socialism that you learned in the village. If you were mine, I wouldn’t share you with anybody or anything. It would be just you and me. You’d be at the center of it all. You know it would feel a lot more like love than being left alone with your work.”
—Warren Beatty (b. 1937)
“Predatory capitalism created a complex industrial system and an advanced technology; it permitted a considerable extension of democratic practice and fostered certain liberal values, but within limits that are now being pressed and must be overcome. It is not a fit system for the mid- twentieth century.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“What an admirable training is science for the more active warfare of life! Indeed, the unchallenged bravery which these studies imply, is far more impressive than the trumpeted valor of the warrior.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
