LSHS STEM MAGNET PROGRAM APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN!!!!
Lithia Springs High School is home to Douglas County’s Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Magnet program. The program is built upon a specialized three-tiered curriculum (On-level, Honors, and High Honors), offering tailored rigor to meet every student's needs. The quality and value of our approach have been validated by three separate, rigorous certifications: the Georgia Department of Education (2016), the National Institute for STEM Education (2019), and Cognia Accreditation (2022).

Instructors utilize a Project-Based Learning (PBL) curriculum, combined with inquiry-based learning and blended instructional methods, to create an inclusive, interactive, and creative classroom environment. This approach provides students with personalized opportunities to work collaboratively on complex, open-ended tasks. Through exploring, designing, testing, modifying, and solving real-world problems, students develop crucial self-confidence, independence, and pride in their accomplishments.

Graduates are exceptionally well-prepared for their next steps, satisfying a broad range of rigorous academic and professional expectations, including AP and Dual Enrollment courses, Work-Based Learning, and the successful completion of multiple career pathways. These achievements culminate in a comprehensive portfolio and résumé that gives them a significant edge in their post-secondary endeavors.
