Students not only learned how they and the world around ticked, but concepts necessary for their own well-being and common knowledge. After all, what made their high school years so great? Without science, much would have been lost. Ms. Hitchner, like all the science teach- ers, gives lectures on the subject the class is studying to help the students under- stand it better. Ms. Black assists one of the Biology 1-2 students. Ms. Black also teaches the Ad- vanced Placement Biology 3-4 class as well. Two biology students examine a drawing of the plant cell. The students themselves not only draw the plant cell, but some- times animal cells, DNA, and many others as well, as class projects. Mr. Oling instructs his class on the finer points in science.
