Our high school is a small urban school which aims to teach our students experiential science in an advanced academic setting. This year we have a big group of juniors taking Pre-AP Physics which is the prerequisite to AP Physics which they will take next year. They are working hard this year and are getting ready for the college course next year. Our goal is to prepare them for study in technical fields such as medicine and engineering.

Being a small urban school district, our diverse student population is predominately minority and low income. Because of our demographics, we do not have a tax base from which to fund the development of our advanced academic programs. Pre-AP Physics is the first year of a two year course in preparation for the AP Physics test, and we do not have much of the lab equipment necessary to perform the challenging experiments needed to enhance our students' learning.

My students need two force tables and two Atwood Machines to study forces and how they act together. We have twenty-nine students signed up for Pre-AP Physics this year, with most of them juniors that are doubling up in AP Chemistry to better prepare themselves for college. The commitment they have made to work hard has placed a burden on me to make sure that I can get the materials and instruction to prepare them for their test.

The mission of our high school is to prepare our students to be lifelong learners in our diverse, changing world and competitive workplace. With this mission in mind, we are striving to develop a challenging academic program which will prepare our diverse student population for advanced technical study in college. As a small urban school district with a student population of predominately minority and low income families, we do not have opportunities that larger districts enjoy. YOU can make a difference in such an environment by helping our kids to experience science in a fun, engaging, and challenging environment.
