The goal is to prepare students for college and career success by imparting the skills of disciplined thinking, the spirit of inquiry, th...e persistence of intellectual curiosity, and the habits of organization, hard work and personal responsibility. Extensive electives, including seven Advanced Placement courses, promote in-depth study in biology, calculus, chemistry, English, US history, and probability and statistics. After-school programs range from robotics to basketball, from drama to martial arts. Sci High students are also the key to the growth of the New Orleans economy through the next generations.
