Science Department

    The Science Department strives to prepare young men to function in a world that is rapidly developing in technology and information. Leaders in such a world must have a thorough grounding in mathematics, science, and computer use.Technology itself raises critical questions of ethics and stewardship that the human family will be called upon to confront. Our mission of aiding young men in exploring a vocation to the priesthood must contain a firm foundation in understanding these important elements of modem life.  

The Science Department has as its overreaching goals:

• to provide instruction that will adequately prepare students for college level work in science, from introductory courses through Advanced Placement levels;
• to ensure that students become aware of the logical structures that underpin scientific work and that these methodologies are useful in any problem-solving situation;
• to examine the ethical and moral implications of the technology that surrounds and often controls our modem world;
• to provide students with an introduction to computers and various software applications pertinent to scientific study; to provide every student with meaningful science laboratory experiences which nurture creative and critical thinking skills;
• to foster scientific interests of students by encouraging participation in extra-curricular science activities.
