OUR MISSION:
We believe that active engagement in curricula designed to explore natural and physical phenomena fosters growth in the ability to ask questions and seek answers. We believe the ability is critical to each student's educational and personal growth.
Below is a presentation created by the science teachers which provides information about our classes to supplement our course catalog. We encourage all students and their guardians to view this presentation prior to selecting courses for next year. More course information, including this presentation, is available on the Course Information Page linked to the left.
Program Information
The science department at Oswego High School believes that all students benefit from a diverse and rigorous science education. As a result we offer a variety of classes that are designed to not only meet the Next Generation Science Standards but also appeal to the many interests of our student body at each stage of the education. From Freshmen Biology to college level courses such as AP Chemistry and everything in between there is something for each student at OHS. Each of our classes are designed with a student-centered environment which will challenge and inspire them to think critically in order to explain the many natural phenomena that they will encounter throughout their lives.
If you have any questions about specific classes or placement for next year please do not hesitate to contact your child's classroom teacher or the Science Department Chair
