Christian County Public Schools announced Wednesday morning they received a $500,000 grant from the Department of Defense Education Activity to enhance STEM education at South Christian Elementary.
The funds, to be distributed over five years, will be used to purchase educational tools such as drones, robotics materials, 3D printing supplies, and coding programs.
South Christian Elementary, located in Herndon – near Fort Campbell has one of the district’s highest populations of military-connected students. The grant aims to provide vibrant learning experiences and increase student capacity in Math and Science, addressing the unique challenges military-connected students face.
DoDEA, a field activity of the Office of the Secretary of Defense, supports public schools through competitive grants to ensure continuity of education for military-connected students.
