Background and Mission
Zane Middle School is a 6th - 8th grade STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) Magnet School located in Eureka California. In 2013. Zane partnered with Humboldt State University around STEM education. In 2014, this partnership resulted in Zane partnering with ENGR215 Introduction to Design to build sustainable infrastructure.
Zane's mission is "...to ensure that our students expand their knowledge and skills while enhancing their self-worth and personal responsibility within a nurturing environment that provides challenging learning opportunities tailored to the unique needs and interests of middle-level learners."
