STEMflorida, a business-led group formed to strengthen the STEM skills – science, technology, engineering and math – of Florida students, has announced Crooms AoIT as its 2010 Business-Education Partnership Award recipient. Crooms AoIT will be presented the award at STEMflorida’s Business and Education Conference at Lake Buena Vista, which runs from July 25th-27th.

Calling all Croomies, Calling all Croomies! As has been announced previously (see http://www.croomsalumni.com/node/272), the Crooms AoIT Alumni Association will be setting up an organizational structure to better manage our operations in the coming years. As such, we are looking for volunteers to fill the positions on both our Management Team and our Board of Directors.

The mean score of 328 also proved to be the highest science score for all Metro Orlando (Orange, Lake, Seminole, and Osceola counties) high schools. That's right, Crooms AoIT had the highest science score in Metro Orlando!

Incorporation would mean the Crooms AoIT Alumni Association:
