Drumline

We have over 48 students in the Drumline program, consisting of 4 different teams. Our students work diligently daily after school to perform for football games, UIL competitions, parades, private parties and possibly Houston's professional sports teams.

Technology

Our students in Technology are currently working in Garage Band to make their own music. In addition our students are learning about Internet safety. Once they have finished the program, they will mentor our feeder pattern Elementary students about internet Safety.

Our students know how to make their own music, make videos and edit videos. If you or your company needs a project completed - we'll gladly accept reasonable challenges

Please contact Ms. Caruso if you're interested in being a part of teaching our students how their computer and technology skills can come in handy in the workplace.

About me

Hi y'all, I'm Ms. Caruso the after school coordinator at Stevenson Middle School. I have run the after school program on campus for the past three year and am happy to start my fourth year with smiling faces.

I love working at Stevenson - from the friendly staff to the active parents and great students. Stevenson has a sense of family and everyone is constantly looking out for the best interest of the kids. We work hard as a faculty to make sure the kids are having fun while actively engaged in class. It is proven that students who are engaged in enrichment activities after school are more likely to succeed in school. With that said, Stevenson is the only Middle School recognized in the East Region!! What, What!!

I am a Baylor University graduate with a B.A. in Psychology. Before coming to Stevenson, I worked for the State of Texas at a Psychological and Conduct disorder facility in Waco, TX. I developed and taught curriculum for 12 - 17 year olds in: Life Skills, Financial Literacy, Self Esteem and Responsibility.
