S3 Project
The science department needs your help with the S3 (S-cubed) project. S3 represents the "search, solve, and succeed" named in our revised mission statement.
We need teachers (new and veteran both) to help refine departmental efforts in equipping teachers to empower students with S3 skills. Interested? Email Becky Ashe with your name, school, and how you'd like to be involved.
