The Catawba County Board of Education approved two new high‑school courses—Robotics 1 and Robotics 2—for Saint Stephen's High School's 2026–2027 program offerings.

Dr. Jeff Eisenhower presented the courses and said they were moved from local course options into a state curriculum pathway. "Miss Blair Miller will be the one that will be teaching this course," Eisenhower said, noting Miller currently leads the district's after‑school robotics program and that the new classes align with existing FIRST Robotics material.

Board members asked no substantive questions and approved the courses by unanimous raised-hand vote. The board will include the new courses in the 2026–2027 course catalog and indicated the budget materials were provided with the agenda.

The action adds a formal pathway intended to strengthen STEM opportunities at Saint Stephen's High School and connect after‑school programs to for‑credit coursework.
