Katherine Johnson Technology Magnet Academy (KJTMA) stands out as one of the few K- 8 schools in North Texas dedicated to aviation, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing. Named in honor of Katherine Johnson, whose pivotal calculations at NASA paved the way for historic space missions like the first American flight into space and Apollo 11, our academy celebrates her legacy of courage and audacity.
In the spirit of Katherine Johnson, our campus aims to inspire students to pursue careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) fields, empowering them to become leaders in aviation, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing industries. Through immersive, hands-on learning experiences and project-based learning initiatives, we collaborate closely with colleges and industry partners, including esteemed leaders and Fortune 500 companies.
Every day, our students are encouraged to affirm their potential and embrace their capabilities with confidence. With affirmations such as "I am created for goodness," "My mind is strong," and "My belief is that I can, and I will," we instill a sense of purpose and determination in each student as they embark on their educational journey at KJTMA.
