Students at our high school engage in their own independent science research during their junior year. The students dedicate many hours a week to carrying out their own experiments. The idea is that they will compete in science competitions in their senior year.
A large percentage of these students go on to study STEM in college as a result of this formative experience of conducting independent experiments over two years in high school.
Students who conduct independent scientific research in their junior year find a lot of satisfaction in seeing an experiment from start to finish. They start with a procedure and background research and then carry out the experiment and draw conclusions.
Some of the experiments students would like to do this year include brain wave analysis using an EEG, hydroponic gardening, and studying hearing loss in elderly populations. Thank you for supporting our science researchers!
More than half of students from low‑income households
