The First Humanoid Robot in a U.S. Secondary School: Angelene Huang's Bold Bet on the Future of Education

In September 2025, Springfield Commonwealth Academy's (SCA) tradition as a sports academy was expanded under the leadership of President Angelene Huang.

Huang made it her mission to introduce the AI & Robotics Innovation Lab. Paired with entrepreneurial projects, the lab is preparing students not just to understand technology but to create and lead with it. This year, SCA will make history as the first U.S. secondary school to introduce a $40,000 humanoid AI robot, Samantha, into the classroom. She is designed to help students master AI applications and learn how to operate and control robots in an increasingly automated world, preparing them to be the real leaders of the future.
