| In a world becoming increasingly driven by technology, the Science Department at Johnson High School is dedicated to the examination of the impact science has on the human experience. We offer insight into the various scientific disciplines and provide current information on careers in these fields of study, especially as they relate to academies within the school. The department is staffed with teachers who are exceptionally interested in the courses they teach, are dedicated to the success of students, and are continually improving their own education.
