“Intelligence plus character-that is the goal of true education.”Hawks Nest STEAM Academy is proud of its commitment to character education. Throughout the school year, students and faculty will engage in various character-building opportunities. Students also have an opportunity to engage in character education lessons in classroom guidance. Parents and community members may read our Hawks Nest STEAM Academy School Counseling Program newsletter by clicking on the file below.
