Science Explores World Around Us To STIMULATE the student’s interest in the nature which sur- rounds them daily and to give them a basic background and appreciation of science was the primary goal of the science department. A knowledge of sci- ence aids students in making deci- sions for future goals in the field of science. In fact, many occupa- tions tend to lean more heavily on scientific techniques. Many courses are offered including: biology, chemistry, and physics. Each of these courses prepares stu- dents for their part in the modern and complex world of today.
