🏆 Fairview’s PLTW Program Earns Prestigious Recognition! 🏆

May 5, 2026 by Jason Floyd

We are so proud to announce that Fairview School has once again been recognized by @PLTWorg as a 2025–26 Distinguished Gateway School! This honor celebrates our commitment to providing high-quality, engaging STEM learning focused on real-world problem-solving and innovation. 🚀
We are incredibly proud of what this means for our community: 🥇 We are the ONLY middle school in the Milwaukee Public Schools to earn this distinction! 🌟 We are one of just 11 middle school programs in Wisconsin to receive the award this year. 🎉 This marks the 7th time Fairview has earned Distinguished status, an achievement matched or exceeded by only two other schools in the entire state!
Across Wisconsin, only 39 schools in total (16 high schools, 11 middle schools, and 12 elementary schools) earned PLTW Distinguished recognition for 2025–26. Being part of this very small and select group underscores the strength and consistency of Fairview’s STEM programming. 🧬💻
