The science curriculum allows students to explore and design experiments in topics such as earth science, biology, chemistry, physics, and environmental science. Students examine the use of renewable and non-renewable resources and analyze their impact on the overall health of the ecosystem. Learners also investigate environmental problems that threaten the stability of life systems, including overpopulation, shortage of drinking water, and rising ocean levels.
Social studies courses examine the geography, governments, economics, and history of the U.S. and the rest of the world. Students will begin by studying chosen historical U.S. and developing basic map skills. More advanced courses will explore the physical characteristics of the world’s landforms and oceans, as well as define democracy and responsible citizenship. Students are expected to demonstrate knowledge of various political philosophies, the role of the U.S. government it its economy, and the impact of major historical events throughout the world.

Chalk Talk: What’s In a Resume?
The most important factor in a resume is delivering as much useful information as quickly as possible. To this end, students should really consider what they put on a resume. A good rule of thumb is to include activities that demonstrate multiple qualities in the student. For example, playing video games might be your favorite hobby, but what will it tell colleges about you? Being in a video game club might do more, and being president of the club would do even more. But what is the club all about? Is it just students sitting around playing games? Does the club do fund raisers? Is there a community outreach side to it? Is there any kind of focus on inclusion? Obviously, no high school will allow a video game club unless it really did some useful things for the school community, and probably the community at large, so the key would be to emphasize those things. Similarly, it’s important to dig into any activity and try to find the specific qualities it highlights and shows off so that the student is presented in the best, most honest, light.
