Did you know we offer Intro to Sports Medicine as part of our Fitness Instructor Pathway program? Students will explore careers in Sports Medicine and Movement Science. Scituate students learn how principles from Biomechanics and Physiology are applied by Athletic Trainers, Physical Therapists, and other specialists. Later in the year, students learn the application of fitness principles in 'Physical Training for active Careers' the second course in the pathway. The Fitness Instructor Endorsement can be earned simultaneously while enrolled in other pathways here at Scituate High School. Check out our student made video!

Mrs. Dailey’s AP Calculus students applied their knowledge of finding the extreme values of a function to a manufacturing problem.

Students planned and discussed their approaches, and then created the boxes which were then filled with a treat to share!
