Mustang Prep began this week to assist incoming freshmen in the transition to Coronado High School and prepare them for success in Pre-Advanced Placement (Pre-AP) and Advanced Placement (AP) courses.
One of the highlights of the activities this week is a project-based learning session on the final day of Mustang Prep. On Wednesday, July 13, students will be taught how to create and print 3-D files and learn the basics of project-based learning, a major component of Coronado’s T-STEM designation. The sessions will run from 9 – 11:50 a.m. and 1 – 3:50 p.m. The best opportunity for visual impact will be during the last 45 minutes of either session.
Mustang Prep was designed to expose students to higher-level curriculum and expectations in high school Pre-AP and AP courses and prepare them for success. The program covers a variety of topics including critical reading skills, study tips, learning styles and writing.
Coronado High School was designated as a 2016-2017 Texas Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (T-STEM) Academy by the Texas Education Agency in May after successful completion of an application process. T-STEM designation allows academies to access professional development, receive technical assistance, and participate in the network of T-STEM academies. Coronado High School is located at 4910 29th Dr.
