The former Arizona Challenger Space Center building will soon house Peoria Unified School District’s medical, engineering and technology program.
The district’s Governing Board last week discussed moving the Medical, Engineering, Technology Professional Academy, known as MET, from Peoria High School’s Old Main to the building it recently acquired, adjacent to Sunrise Mountain High School.
MET Academy, a program designed to prepare students for higher education in STEM-related fields, shares Old Main with Peoria Flex Academy, a non-traditional high school that offers flexible scheduling and tailored learning plans.
