High School Science

All students are required to complete two credits of science in order to graduate from Gorham High
School. One of these credits must be Integrated Science and the other Biology. Opportunities exist
within the department for students to take as many as six science courses during their high school
experience. Students who intend on furthering their education should be aware of the science
requirements of the institutions to which they will apply. A general rule to follow is that the
admissions offices of most colleges and universities want students who have completed three years
of laboratory science courses in their high school experience. Students should follow the prerequisite
information and recommendation of the instructor for the courses they wish to register.
