Our Mission:

We're dedicated to providing our students with the experience and knowledge necessary to make science useful in their lives and to enable our students to improve the lives of others by learning how to discover new things.

Department Goals:

1. Increase science enrollment in elective classes.

2. Prepare students to make career choices in science.

3. Get students excited about science by having them participate in relevant, realistic, hands-on science activities.

4. Improve scores on state-mandated standardized assessments.

5. Support each other in our efforts to become better professional science educators.

6. Connect all major activities and course descriptions to the California Science Standards, and analyze course descriptions and test results for standards we may not be meeting.
