The North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics received a $100,000 donation from Case Farms to support the school’s Ignite + Transform Campaign.

The donation from Case Farms will help to create and upgrade learning environments on the school’s Â鶹´«Ã½ campus and expand access to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education, faculty and mentors throughout North Carolina through NCSSM’s distance education and extended learning programs.
