Every Sophomore participates in a biology course, and for those who wish to pursue this field an advanced course is offered. Other studies in the realm of science are chemistry, physical science, and classical physics. W.H.H.S. has a highly acclaimed science department in the state of Florida. This is due to the efforts of the teaching staff. Presently all five teachers have gone beyond their Bachelor of Science degrees, and the excellent projects of the students reflect the hard work of these teachers. What goes where?

lUaiL Before school the room is crowded and humming, but the math books are open and the students are studying furiously. This is a common scene at W.H.H.S. Our math department offers such courses as algebra I, II, geometry, trigonometry, advanced math, functional math, senior math, and business math. Topics from modern math have been taught in the algebra II and S.M.S.G. geometry classes. The advanced math taught to seniors the second semester is a composite study of elementary functions, geometry, and an introduction to probability and statistics.
