SCIENCE PROGRAM
Today’s digital world is one in which scientific issues such as climate change, stem cell research, and the search for alternative energy sources are constantly in the headlines. All citizens in our increasingly global society must have an understanding of basic scientific principles to function in today’s world. To this end the Science Department offers a variety of courses to serve the student who desires to study only the basics as well as the student who wishes to major in science in college.
Requirements: Three years (15 credits) of science is required for graduation.
MCAS Requirement: In addition to English and Math, students will have to meet an additional graduation requirement in Science, Technology and Engineering. At Milton High School, most students will take the Biology MCAS to satisfy this requirement. Students will take the Biology MCAS when they take the course Biology I. Once the student has passed the Biology MCAS (or another science MCAS), they will have fulfilled the Science portion of the MCAS graduation requirement.
