Meet our Science/STEM department

The objective of the Science Department emphasizes development of students’ ability to use the scientific method in acquiring knowledge and the proper care and use of the equipment and materials necessary in laboratory work. These objectives support the school’s philosophy and its general objectives—love of God and neighbor and the building of a just society.
