Science

The Science Department offers an engaging curriculum aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), designed to build scientific literacy, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. Students explore core disciplines—Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Earth Science—through hands-on investigations and inquiry-based learning. In addition to required NGSS courses, the department provides a wide range of elective classes that allow students to dive deeper into specialized topics. Our goal is to inspire curiosity, foster scientific understanding, and prepare students for future academic and career opportunities.
