We’re proud to announce that Columbia Heights Education Campus has been named a PLTW 2025-26 Distinguished School for their commitment to increasing student access, engagement, and achievement in their PLTW [Computer Science and Engineering] programs. #PLTW #STEM #STEMeducation
The PLTW Distinguished School recognition honors schools committed to increasing student access, engagement, and achievement in their PLTW programs.
