FWPS SCIENCE PATHWAYS HIGH SCHOOL Key Points: Scholars should choose • All three pathways are rigorous and prepare scholars for college and careers one of the three pathways • All three pathways are open to all scholars described below to • All three pathways will fulfill science graduation requirements and provide scholars meet their graduation with instruction on all high school Washington State Science Learning Standards requirements for science. • Scholars can change their pathway in tenth grade. Scholars should plan on completing three courses in sequence.
