After careful consideration, the iSTEM Governing Board has selected Auburn Career Center as the preferred option for relocation next year. This decision followed a thorough review of three options—Lakeland, Auburn, and iSTEM’s current location—and was guided by key factors including operational costs, enrollment sustainability, and overall educational impact. Of the options considered, Auburn Career Center best meets these needs and represents the strongest long-term fit for our school.
We are are excited about the prospects of STEM, Career Technical Education, and College Credit Plus opportunities that will be available to our students at one location. To reaffirm, while moving to this location will lead to partnership opportunities with Auburn, iSTEM will remain an independent STEM School and our students will have the same choices for their educational pathways as they currently have.
We would also like to sincerely thank our families for the thoughtful feedback, questions, and input shared throughout this process. Your engagement and partnership have been invaluable and played an important role in informing the Board’s decision.
We remain committed to providing a high-quality, innovative educational experience for our students and appreciate your continued support as we move forward.

Seventeen students created unique gingerbread houses and snacked on treats. The group is looking forward to a January event, yet to be determined.
