Taylor Road Middle Receives $1,500 Grant

CH2M Hill, a public-private partner with the city of Johns Creek, has awarded with a $1,500 Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM) Grant.

Since 2007, CH2M Hill associates have partnered with the science department at Taylor Road Middle School, participating each year as judges and advisers in the annual science fair. This year the partnership grew to include presentations for National Engineers Week. Ch2M Hill engineers and associates encouraged science students to consider pursuing careers in engineering with a series of presentations, hands-on water filtration activities, and question-and-answer sessions.

Founded on a culture of service that rewards its employees for their contributions to their local communities, the CH2M Hill Foundation implemented its “Dollars for Doers” program. This year, 17 local CH2M Hill employees volunteered more than 50 hours at Taylor Road Middle School, which qualified for the highest STEM “Dollars for Doers” grant possible.

“By making this program available, CH2M Hill continues to show commitment not only to its employees, but also to science and our community,” said MaryAnne Koutrelakos, a mechanical engineer with CH2M.
