To Parents, Staff, Students, Community Partners and Potential Families and friends of Briarlake,

It is my pleasure to announce that we are officially AdvancED STEM Certified! We have worked extremely hard for this level of affirmation indicating that are on to something phenomenal for our students at Briarlake. I would like to once again congratulate and sincerely thank faculty, staff, students, Briarlake parents and community partners for their hard work, perseverance, initiative and support throughout the certification and ongoing STEM implementation process. “WE” did it! WE are AdvancED STEM Certified because of them!

I am truly humbled by the way we came together as ONE school family, inclusive of our kids and fantastic parent community, to achieve something that validates the STEM experiences that our kids are benefiting from, daily. It has been an honor to lead, follow and partner with each of you regarding this STEM process.

Briarlake, your commitment to our students, our school, and community are to be commended.

We strive to work in full collaboration to fully embody the vision and belief that when we work to ignite curiosity, facilitate critical thinking and creativity grounded in collaborative learning, nothing is impossible and growth is endless! This is the heart of STEM, and I believe this is the Heart of Briarlake.

Briarlake Elementary houses a phenomenal team to work with and for. You are to be praised for all that you do on a daily basis, as we continue to march towards even greater excellence here at Briarlake. WE are Briarlake.

One School. One Community. One Success.
