Big ideas. Bright minds. Future STEM leaders. 💡🔬🚀

Congratulations to our Elementary STEM Fair winners! Our scholars wowed us with their creativity, curiosity, and problem-solving skills as they shared their projects with judges, families, and the GOLCS community.

We are also so proud of every scholar who competed. More than 50 elementary scholars participated, and each one showed what it means to ask questions, explore ideas, and think like a scientist.

A special thank you to our guest judges from the Arman Roy Foundation, Audible, M&T Bank, NJIT, Pennoni and Wellpoint for helping make the day so meaningful for our scholars.

Way to go, Griffins! 🦅

Great STEM classrooms do not happen by accident. They are built by strong teachers, thoughtful coaching, high expectations, and leaders who believe scholars deserve rigorous, joyful learning every day.

At Great Oaks Legacy Charter School, we are preparing Newark scholars for college success — and we are hiring an Assistant School Director of STEM to help lead that work.

This is a high-impact leadership opportunity for an educator who has “walked the walk” in the classroom and is ready to coach teachers, strengthen instruction, use data to drive growth, and help build the STEM classrooms our scholars deserve.

Starting salary: $105,000 + comprehensive benefits

Lead STEM instruction. Develop teachers. Drive results.

The robes were on. The photos were giving. The emotions were absolutely not optional. 🎓

Our Class of 2026 gave us the perfect pre-graduation candids — smiles, hugs, glam, and just the right amount of “I cannot believe we are actually graduating.”

And honestly? We are living for every second of it. 💙💛
