John B. Wright Elementary School has focused on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) for many years. The STEM subjects are incorporated across the curriculum--into social studies, language arts, music and even play.
Wright students are encouraged to be curious and explore their ideas. Teachers help children build confidence in their learning and set their sights on the future. The school partners with Raytheon, the University of Arizona and neighborhood associations to enhance learning and connections to the community.
Each morning at Wright, the children state our school's mission: “We are training future Arizona Scientists, Technologists, Engineers, Artists and Mathematicians.”
