Our Schools

Incline Education Fund (IEF) spearheaded the ongoing initiative to create the first and only K-12 STEM public school pathway in the state of Nevada.  This was accomplished in 2024 by laying the groundwork for unique, innovative STEM programming at each school. 

The effort was recognized by the Nevada Governor’s Office of Science, Information & Technology (OSIT) as EACH of the three Incline public schools was named a “Designated STEM School” – ensuring that our schools meet the highest standards of STEM instruction and are models for other schools around the state.

IEF believes that this programming will:

  •   Retain & recruit great teachers
  •   Build real-world skills for future careers
  •   Increase student engagement & enrollment
