Dr. Steven Herman

Dear Students and Families,

After many years in biotechnology research and development, I am thrilled to be a high school science teacher. My goals are to guide you to a better understanding of science, math and engineering, to inspire many of you to careers in science or engineering, and to help all of you become thoughtful citizens. In this digital age when all of us are constantly bombarded with information from many different sources, it is more important than ever to understand how to evaluate and analyze information so that we can make informed decisions about our lives, our communities and our society.
