The program Math, Engineering, and Science Academy (MESA) opened for the 2009–2010 school year, inviting approximately 50 freshmen and 25 juniors. MESA offers an accelerated science and math curriculum, in which math and science are taught with an engineering and application focus. Collaborative project based learning, robotics, research and competitions are all part of the MESA environment. Students solve problems analytically and verify their results empirically through experimentation using tools including MATLAB, Autodesk Inventor and Microsoft Excel. In 2013, MESA students won the International Robotic Sailing Regatta beating every college team in attendance and advanced two students to the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair.
