What Makes Nimitz Special

NEISD STEM Academy

Nimitz is home to the middle school NEISD STEM Academy, a magnet program that uses a problem-based, technology-rich approach to learning. Students explore science, technology, engineering, and mathematics while developing the collaboration, innovation, and problem-solving skills that can prepare them for continued STEM study in high school and beyond.

Dual Language

Leadership Through Jr. Cadets

Nimitz is home to NEISD’s only middle school Jr. Cadet program, giving students a unique opportunity to develop leadership, teamwork, responsibility, and service. It is one of several ways Seahawks can begin discovering what it means to lead and contribute to their community.
