Our Vision

GaCo Logo

It's simple:

GaCo's vision is to have every young person in and about Garrett County achieve that "ah-ha!" moment that will help develop their potential success in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)!

"All students -

STEM ready"

STEM Party!!

It isn't just Garrett County: where GaCo goes, we bring the STEM party with us! GaCo students have taught numerous "impromptu" waypoint lessons in shopping malls, restaurants, and everywhere else we go! We always have our gear on hand!
