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.
Competency Determination (CD) Requirement: In addition to 15 science credits, students will have to meet an additional graduation requirement in Science, Technology and Engineering (STE). At Milton High School students will need to successfully completion one year of biology at the college prep or honors level. Students will take the Biology MCAS when enrolled in this course, but the course grade and mastery of standards will determine if the student meets the schools CD requirement for graduation. A passing biology course grade, inclusive of standards mastery through assessments and laboratory investigations, will be reviewed to determined CD requirement completion.
