The Dayton Regional STEM school opened Fall 2009 with the first class of 9th graders. In Fall 2010 the school will have grades 8-10. Two grades will be added each year until grades 6-12 are represented. Focusing on science, technology, engineering and math, the new public school will have an integrated curriculum and use problem solving in real life settings. Wright State University partnered with other local colleges, area high tech companies and Wright Patterson Air Force Base to win the state grant which funds the school's start-up. DRSS does not use academic achievement or aptitude as a part of the selection process. Students of all ability levels are eligible to attend.

Wright State University graduate students taking Young Adult Literature are making suggestions for books for student reading that will connect to 10th grade social studies: Industrial/Scientific Revolution (1800-1914), World Wars of the 20th Century (1914-1945) to the Post-World War II Era (1945-1980). Book titles are organized by region.
