My Courses This Year

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 investigate phenomena, analyze evidence, and build explanations rather than simply memorize facts.

Course information

Project-Based

Sustainable Solutions

A hands-on, project-based course focused on sustainability, environmental responsibility, problem solving, and collaboration — with real work on our campus and in our community.
