The research program at my high school is a magnet program for students wishing to conduct college-level research studies from 9th through 12th grades. Students explore problems that they wish to address through a scientific research study in the math, science, and/or technology fields. Unlike advanced programs currently in the high schools that focus on all disciplines and require end-of-course competency exams, and unlike existing STEM programs, my program offers students the opportunity to conduct hands-on research guided by qualified instructors and mentors in the scientific community within the region at universities, or engineering and technology firms. Students participate/compete in regional, national, and international science competitions, science fairs, and summer programs. Our students have consistently won honors and awards at each level, with many students going on to the national top research universities to continue their scientific inquiry.
