iSTEM Names Dean of Students
During its May meeting, the iSTEM Governing Board approved Jess Heppert as Dean of Students for 2026-2027. During this past year Heppert continued teaching English classes while also serving in an administrative support role. Her leadership, organizational skills, and instructional knowledge make for an ideal building leader for both staff and students as iSTEM moves to its next chapter with relocating to the Auburn Career Center Campus.

iSTEM's Geometry Aviation course concluded a great year with a visit to our partner on Tuesday - Vector Aviation! Students toured the FlexJet facility and saw numerous historic airplanes. They were also to put the principles of Geometry class to the test, using the flight simulator. Students received instruction from a flight instructor and were able to fly and land a plane in the city of their choosing!
We’re excited to announce a major milestone in iSTEM’s journey—one that expands opportunities, strengthens community connections, and sets the stage for an even brighter future. Through a dynamic new partnership with Auburn Career Center, iSTEM is stepping into a new chapter designed to empower students with hands-on learning, cutting-edge resources, and real-world career pathways.
Stay tuned—this is just the beginning.

Painesville, OH — The iSTEM Governing Board officially approved the relocation of iSTEM to the Auburn Career Center campus during a Special Board Meeting held on March 23, 2026.
This decision follows a comprehensive process in which the Governing Board and school leadership carefully researched, evaluated, and considered multiple options. The process included an in-depth review of facilities, programming opportunities, financial impact, and long-term sustainability to ensure the best possible outcome for students and the iSTEM community. This strategic move marks an exciting new chapter for iSTEM, creating expanded opportunities for students through enhanced programming, increased access to resources, and a more centralized learning environment. The partnership with Auburn Career Center will allow iSTEM to strengthen its focus on STEM education while expanding access to Career and Technical Education (CTE) pathways, College Credit Plus (CCP) opportunities, and a state-of-the-art facility.
“We are incredibly grateful to our Governing Board for their thoughtful leadership and commitment throughout this process,” said Allen Wilson, Superintendent. “This decision reflects a shared vision for what is best for our students both now and in the future.” iSTEM also extends sincere appreciation to its dedicated staff for their continued commitment to students and adaptability throughout this transition. Their work remains central to the school’s success. Additionally, iSTEM would like to thank Auburn Career Center for their collaboration, partnership, and support in making this transition possible. Their willingness to welcome iSTEM to their campus reflects a shared commitment to student success and innovative educational opportunities.
More information regarding transition details and next steps will be shared with families and the community in the coming weeks.
