Leominster Champion
The Leominster Public Schools will receive a grant of more than $200,000 to bring a new biomedical sciences curriculum to high school students, state officials have announced.
The $226,851 award from the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center’s STEM Equipment and Professional Development Grant program means the district can implement the Project Lead the Way Biomedical Sciences curriculum at both Leominster High School and LHS’ vocational-technical division, the Center for Technical Education Innovation. The grant allows the Leominster Public Schools to offer professional development to 12 teachers and provide about 380 students with an inquiry, project-based, and hands-on learning using equipment such as PCR machines (which can make many copies of a single piece of DNA), incubators, microcentrifuges and DNA analysis kits.

He wrote back immediately giving her the rights, and the project began.
