Cleveland district will house science-focused high school on GE site
The Cleveland school district and GE have reached an agreement that will turn part of the company's Nela Park campus into a new year-round high school for science, technology, engineering and mathematics. A lease will allow the 100 ninth-graders in the first class at the MC STEM High School to observe the types of jobs they may someday hold. Nela Park is headquarters for General Electric Co.'s $6.6 billion-a-year lighting and industrial unit. The schools will pay $3.2 million to renovate a two-story building wing, with most of the money from corporate and nonprofit foundations.
