This task is best accomplished when school personnel have high expectations for all students, create a positive school climate, ensure a safe and orderly environment, monitor student progress on a frequent basis, and promote effective home-school relations. Our totally integrated Science, Mathematics, and Technology Magnet Program offers students classes designed with experiences leading to their involvement in scientific and mathematical research and experimentation.
Science is taught in a laboratory setting using a hands-on approach.
Students learn the habits of mind of a true scientist as scientific theories are discovered through investigation and experimentation with an emphasis on problem solving. Students use laser discs and CD- ROM for simulations, data collection and interpretation, word processing, modeling, instrumentation, and electronic mail. Field trips enrich and supplement the program. School-wide activities include Career Day, Science Fair, and Technology Challenges. Math teachers work closely with the science teachers in order for mathematics to become a meaningful part of the over-all program.
