Three years of science credit are required for graduation.  These science classes must include the following topics: life science, physical science, and earth/space science.  In order to fulfill this requirement, students must take one of the following sequences of three classes during their first three years of high school:

Grade	Sequence 1	Sequence 2
9th grade	Integrated Science	Biology
10th grade	Biology	Chemistry plus optional science elective
11 grade	Chemistry plus optional science elective	Physics plus optional science elective
12 grade	Optional Science Elective	Optional Science Elective

Courses in italics are optional. Courses in bold are required.

Students must completely follow one of the sequences.  Student placement into Science sequences depends on their Math placement test.  Freshmen who are taking Algebra I will take Science Sequence 1.  Freshmen who are taking Advanced Geometry, Algebra II, or Pre-Calculus will take Science Sequence 2.
