CREC Academy of Science & Innovation Named Merit School of Distinction by Magnet Schools of America

February 3, 2025

CREC Academy of Science and Innovation has been named a National Merit School of Distinction by Magnet Schools of America, the national association for magnet and theme-based schools.

Our academic program is designed to nurture curiosity and build essential skills in our core pillars: Computer Science, Biotechnology, and Environmental Science. Starting in 6th grade, students explore these core concentrations through hands-on projects, collaborative labs, and real-world applications, giving them a foundation that’s both rigorous and engaging.Whether they’re building drones, designing apps, or analyzing data, our students are immersed in an environment where learning truly comes to life. We are proud to be a MSA Magnet School of Distinction and look forward to future innovation in our school.


Presentation of Distinction Award:

Karen Mooney, Principal, will be recognized and receive a National Merit School of Distinction Award on behalf of the school during an awards ceremony held at Magnet Schools of America’s National Conference April 7-10, 2025, in Nashville.

To receive a national merit award, members of Magnet Schools of America must submit a detailed application that is scored by a panel of educators. These schools are judged and scored on their demonstrated ability to raise student academic achievement, promote racial and socioeconomic diversity, provide integrated curricula and instruction, and create strong family and community partnerships that enhance the school’s magnet theme.
