Science

Our Vision: It is our intention to develop scientifically literate students who make decisions informed by scientific evidence and are skilled in the use of the scientific process to hypothesize, test, collect data, analyze data, and draw valid conclusions. The students’ interest and curiosity for science will be nurtured in an inquiry-based learning atmosphere and continue throughout their lives as they grow in their knowledge of themselves and the world of science.
