Year, Prerequisite: Recommendation from prior science teacher and concurrent enrollment in Geometry A or higher. Open to Grades 9-11.

Honors Biology is a rigorous course that is strongly recommended for students who are interested in careers in medicine, engineering, and other sciences. This evolution and molecular-based course emphasizes inquiry and process skills, problem-solving, and is designed to prepare students for Honors Chemistry, Advanced Placement Physics 1, and other Advanced Placement science courses. Topics will be covered in greater depth and detail than in Biology, especially those dealing with biochemistry, molecular biology, inheritance, evolution, and genetic engineering.
