Welcome to the Brien McMahon Science Department Website
The Brien McMahon High School Science Department provides student
focused scientific experiences that include hands-on laboratory experiments,
problem solving and the application of critical thinking skills. It is our goal
to ensure that all students graduate college and career ready through creating
a student-centered learning environment in a collaborative culture. In addition
to our core courses, we have an extensive rigorous elective program that allows
our students to focus on a content area of choice and in many cases, earn
college credit in the process. All students are strongly encouraged to study a
fourth year in Science, more than 75 percent of our students take at least four
years of science classes.
BMHS Science students have the opportunity to follow one of our
unique content-based pathways. As a certified Project Lead the Way
Pre-Engineering Program, students can enroll in our flexible 4 year sequence of
courses to earn not only high school credit, but college level credit for this
rigorous program. In addition to our engineering pathway, we are excited to
offer our Medical Pathway. This program is a small learning community within
BMHS that will focus on careers in medicine and other health related fields.
The medical pathway will also offer the opportunity for students to earn
college credit as well as professional certifications that can be applied to
career of post-secondary education.
