9-12 Science

6-12 Science Department Vision

The Secondary Science Department strives to develop our student’s capacity to think critically, employ strategies to solve challenging problems through collaboration and innovation to develop knowledge, and marvel at the wonders of the natural world around us.  Teaching and learning encourage students to work collaboratively to solve rigorous and complex problems as they acquire the skills necessary for college, career, and life.  Our goal is to foster and strengthen our students’ growth mindset through learning that incorporates creativity, imagination, and resilience.  

Our curriculum is aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards and follows units of study which aid students in making connections across grades as they deepen their understanding of core ideas, crosscutting concepts, and science and engineering practices.
