Biology Honors

Biology Honors is an advanced class and an in-depth study of the basic concepts of Biology in a content based laboratory approach. Building proficiency in critical and creative thinking and problem solving is a major thrust of the entire program. Problems that require students to reach beyond the content and apply biological understanding of universal concern will be incorporated into the course. Students must be motivated, organized, and able to balance rigorous coursework with other activities and classes.

Honors level classes can expect more rigorous requirements for assignments and assessments.
