Corey Alderdice, director of the Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences and the Arts, will serve as President-Elect of the 2022-23 National Consortium of Secondary STEM Schools Board of Directors.
Alderdice was installed as President-Elect during the NCSSS Professional Conference that was held Nov. 2-5 in Atlanta. Officers are elected by the Board of Directors upon a consideration of a slate of nominees presented by the Nominating Committee. He has served as a director on the NCSSS Board of Directors since November 2019.
“It’s an honor to have the opportunity to play a role in the development of NCSSS and the national discussion of the importance of STEM education,” Alderdice said. “Schools like ASMSA offer a variety of best practices in the classroom, student development, faculty engagement, use of technology, and innovation. I look forward to this opportunity to serve a tremendous organization.”
NCSSS was established in 1988 to provide a forum for specialized secondary schools focused on science, technology, engineering and mathematics to exchange information and program ideas. It now includes approximately 100 member schools, many “ranked” as the best in the country, along with 55 associate, affiliate and corporate members comprised of colleges, universities, summer programs, foundations and corporations located in 32 states and four countries.
Alderdice has served as director of ASMSA since July 2012.
