Available Courses

• Earth Science

    

  The study of earth science includes both the acquisition of scientific knowledge and the process of investigation. Laboratory activities have been designed to challenge the students to think critically about the dynamic nature of the earth. Major units of study include: geology, meteorology, and astronomy.
• Intro To Computer Science - Spring 2009

    

  This course meets the Computer requirement for graduation, but not the math requirement. The students will learn basic elements of program design and apply these concepts to problems in mathematics and related areas. Additionally, students will design algorithms to assist in solving these problems. Students will find this course designed to establish a foundation for further study in computer science and to prepare college-bound students who will need computer knowledge to carry out study and application in a variety of subject areas.
• AP Computer Science

    

  This course meets the Computer requirement for graduation.
  

  Computer science encompasses the collection of technical skills and scientific methodologies used in the creation of high quality computer based solutions to real problems. This is more than a programming course. Topics include modular program design, control structures, recursion, data structures, algorithms, searching, sorting, and modeling. A goal of the course is to prepare students for the Advanced Placement Computer Science A exam.
