Major topics of study include environmental pollution, biomes, people and their needs, natural resources, and habitat destruction,

Class Expectations
Students are expected to follow the Code of Conduct outlined in the Washington County School Code of Conduct and behave according to the rules of the school. Respect is the key. We are fortunate in the United States to benefit from free and public education. I feel that this is a priviledge that we as a society should value.
It is my philosophy to extend to you both my respect and my greatest effort as an instructor. I ask the same in return, both for myself and for your classmates.
SUPPLIES NEEDED: Paper and pen or pencil
