    My philosophy is to encourage students to appreciate and enjoy biology and all the wonder that it has to offer. It is my intention to prepare students for college academically and to inspire interest and enthusiasm for biology. It is the intention of the College Board Pre-AP Science program implemented during the high school years to provide a powerful opportunity to help all students acquire the knowledge, concepts, and skills needed to engage in a higher level of learning.
