Space and Engineering Technologies Academy - SETA - North East ISD

As another remarkable chapter comes to a close, we want to celebrate our Engineering and Technology Academy (ETA) seniors and congratulate them on reaching this important milestone.

The end of the school year marks the conclusion of years of hard work, determination, growth, and achievement. While it is bittersweet to see this group move on, we are incredibly proud of all they have accomplished and excited for what lies ahead.

To the ETA Class of 2026, thank you for the memories, the leadership, and the legacy you leave behind. You will always be part of the ETA family, and we will be cheering you on every step of the way.

ETA Seniors had an unforgettable day yesterday at Johnson Space Center! 🚀✨ Our students had the opportunity to tour Mission Control, explore the Mock-Up Center, and experience Space Center Houston firsthand. Along the way, we made our traditional Buc-ee’s stop and even got to watch the Spurs game on the ride home! 🏀

Most importantly, we had the chance to celebrate an incredible group of seniors who have worked hard, grown together, and represented ETA with pride. We are so proud of our seniors and loved spending time making memories with them as they prepare for their next journey. The future is bright! 🌟

🚀 HUGE congratulations to our SETA Stars! 🚀

Our incredible middle school team placed 🥉 3rd in the RC Challenge at the **HERC (Human Exploration Rover Challenge)this weekend in Huntsville, Al—and we could not be more proud!

As the ONLY middle school team competing, our students went head-to-head with high school teams and still rose to the top, outperforming several of them. Their rover, Spike, performed exceptionally well, showcasing the months of hard work, innovation, and determination our students poured into this competition.

This achievement speaks volumes about who our students are—trailblazers, confident, resilient, and always preparing for tomorrow. They represented SETA with excellence on an international stage!

A special shoutout to Mrs. Griffin and our amazing SETA families who were there every step of the way, cheering, supporting, and believing in our students. This was truly a team effort!

💫 Help us celebrate this incredible accomplishment and give a BIG shoutout to our students and teacher for making SETA proud at the international level!

Way to go, SETA!! We are beyond proud of you!!!
