Forensics

Marine Biology

Also the teacher (Ms. Buckley) is one of the best!”

African American and Latine Studies

Junior Haleigh Miller: “I’ve learned more in the last six months about Black and Latine history than I’ve learned in the last ten years of my education.” “I’d recommend it for anyone who feels like there’s a gap in their education and is open-minded to learning something new.”

It is such a great class to relax and learn how to sew with great people around you.” “I would recommend this class to anyone with an interest in sewing. You can learn how to construct your own clothes!”
