The WRHS Science Department strives for excellence in the
science education of all its graduates. We recognize the fact that
science is a human endeavor designed to achieve an increasingly
comprehensive and reliable understanding of the human species and its

Science Program
WRHS
students must successfully complete three years (15 credits) of science
course work. To complete this requirement, students typically take
Freshman Physics in Grade 9, Biology during sophomore year, and
Chemistry during junior year. All of these courses are offered at the
H, CPA, and CP levels. An alternative route is for a student to take all
three sections of Science Explorations and Interactions at the CP
level. College bound students are strongly urged to take at least two
years of laboratory science courses. The complete Science Department Program Guide contains a detailed account of the course descriptions, as well as sequences and prerequisites.
All Honors science students must complete an Honors Project. The complete manual for Honors Science Projects outlines rules and procedures for that project.
