Real People Who Use Science
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.
This page is for parents, community members, and friends of the DVHS Science Department who wish to share how math and science has helped them in their current profession. We'd like to post names, companies, job descriptions, and a list of courses you took in high school which you think helped you get your start. You can include a small paragraph about yourself as well. If you give us specific permission to do so, we will include your email address so students can write to you. (Email is not posted unless specifically given permission.)
Send a note to jeffadkins"at"antioch.k12.ca.us with the information listed above, and we'll post it here. Thanks!
