The Math, Engineering, Technology and Science Academy is for students interested in the field of Engineering.  The Academy is housed at R. L. Turner High School , a comprehensive 9-12 grade high school located in Carrollton and one of four high schools in the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District .  The program offers a developmental four year sequence of courses which, when combined with college preparatory mathematics and science courses, introduces students to the discipline of engineering and engineering technology, with the appropriate scope and rigor prior to entering college.  The coursework is delivered in a comprehensive project-based approach that allows students to investigate and experience applications in practical problem-solving.  METSA creates personalized learning environments where all students are given individual attention and challenged to meet high expectations.
