Vancouver Public Schools is one of 25 school districts nationwide commended by the White House for its commitment in support of President Barack Obama’s initiative to expand computer science curricula for K-12 students.

The Vancouver district offers a number of middle and high school courses connected to programming, coding and project-based learning. With potential funding from the initiative, the district would reinforce current programs and enhance college and career readiness.

The district also would prioritize development and integration of coding, computer science and project-based learning at the elementary levels and in content areas, and expand extended-day programming and internship opportunities for secondary students.
