High School Science Adoption
The High School Science Committee has been tasked with reviewing and coming to consensus on comprehensive curriculum that could be implemented by classroom teachers in grades nine through twelve. This includes core courses like Biology, Chemistry, and Physics and some electives. It does not include AP, College in the High School, or Project Lead The Way (CTE) courses. Once consensus is reached by the committee, there will be a public review of the adoption committee's recommendation, the recommendation will be brought to the Instructional Advisory Committee (IAC), and then the Peninsula School District School Board will take action on the recommendation.
Upon adoption of a comprehensive curriculum, the multi-year work of implementation will commence.
