Welcome to Wilckens STEAM Academy at Hillcrest! I am honored to be the principal of this innovative school that is working to promote critical thinking, problem-solving, exploration, collaborative learning, creativity, and innovation within our students. This is my 9th year as principal here at STEAM and my 12th year of principalship here in Belton. 

STEAM is a caring school that believes in partnerships between staff, parents, students, and the community. We are fortunate to be in such a strong community that truly values education and the success of all students. I truly believe that through the engaging learning experience student have here at STEAM, using Project Based Learning (PBL) and integration throughout the curriculum, students will make a deeper connection to the world around. This will allow students to continue to grow and develop as learners. 

We invite you to visit our school or contact us with any questions or comments. Thank you for taking time to visit our website.

Assistant Principal mr. Blaine Adams

PIC OF BLAINE ADAMS

The start of the 2024-25 school year marks my 12th year in education, and 11th in the Belton School District. I taught first grade for one year in Maryville, Missouri, before joining Belton for the fall of 2014-2015. I taught fifth grade at Mill Creek Upper Elementary School for eight years and then served as Cambridge Elementary School's assistant principal for two years.

On the home front, I am "cheered on" by my middle school sweetheart (wife), Jamee, our three daughters, one dog, and one cat.
