With a dedicated, highly trained staff, and beautiful geography, including the Cascade Mountains and the Wenatchee River, Cascade School District has found a natural emphasis on FieldSTEM, taking science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) outdoors. Cascade students work on real-world problems that are integrated, career, connected, and locally relevant. Cascade teachers have received training from the Pacific Education Institute (PEI) on their FieldSTEM model. 

In October 2023, Cascade SD was named PEI FieldSTEM District of the year. Please see our video
