Welcome — students, families, and visitors. This site is the home of my Environmental Science and Sustainable Living courses at Weston High School: what we study, how we learn, and where to find what you need. I believe every student deserves a classroom built around inquiry, evidence, and a meaningful connection to the living world.

The Courses

Two courses, one goal: helping students understand the natural world and their place in it.

Grades 11–12

Environmental Science

An inquiry-based, NGSS-aligned course exploring environmental systems and how humans interact with them — from ecosystems and energy to climate change and sustainability. Students figure things out rather than simply memorize facts.
