Honors Biology Qualification Test

The Science Department Head, Ms. Holly will be offering an Honor's Biology Qualification Test during office hours Monday, 26 and Tuesday 27 Feb 2018. I understand it will be in room I-4, which is the building you see when leaving our classroom. Her room is close to the fence and field.

I do not think you have to sign up for Honors Biology to take the test, but if you do well, you might consider challenging yourself with a more rigorous course in preparation for college.

Mon. 26Feb, Office hours, Room I-4
Tue. 27Feb, Office hours, Room I-4

Many of you are ready for this challenge. Stop by and ask if you would like an introduction to meet with Ms. Holly and I will walk over with you.

Be safe and make good choices!
