Science

The CHS Science Department cultivates an environment that fosters lifelong intellectual curiosity and enables students to become scientifically literate citizens. This is achieved through a variety of interconnected, rigorous and authentic learning experiences in which students model concepts, investigate questions, analyze data and evidence, problem solve and communicate findings. Through their science experience students employ and hone lifelong learning habits to achieve proficiency in these skills across science disciplines.
