Full 'Stream' Ahead
By Emily Benson
Holy Spirit School in East Greenbush was a recent proud recipient of the 2026 Fordham University Executive Leadership Award for Excellence in STREAM (Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) Education for its growing STREAM program.
Holy Spirit’s program is a separate elective offered to all Holy Spirit students, pre-K3 through Grade 5, that integrates science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) with religion and the arts into lessons, projects and daily instruction. Fordham’s Center for Catholic School Leadership and Faith-Based Education honors schools that demonstrate visionary leadership and excellence in faith-based education.
Kelly Leverone, principal, and Maria Collins, Holy Spirit’s STEM teacher, accepted the award at Fordham University’s Catholic School Executive Leadership Dinner on May 28, along with several other Catholic dioceses.
