The Center for Engineering, Mathematics, and Science is a PLTW Distinguished School


The Center for Engineering, Mathematics and Science (CEMS) is a specialty/magnet program at Blaine High School. It offers students an opportunity to explore engineering and provides them a strong foundation in math and science. CEMS is part of the Northwest Suburban Integration School District and, thus, is an option for students in seven school districts in the northwest metro area.
Skills Students Need for Successful Participation in CEMS:
- Academic skills that are at or above grade level
- Ability to work cooperatively with a group of students
- 90% work completion
- 90% attendance
- Accommodations will be provided; modifications may be provided but will affect the student’s ability to receive college credit.
