The STEM Program enables students to begin an intense academic program in their freshman year with special emphasis in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. The STEM program allows young women to concentrate in one specific area, thus preparing them more completely for further collegiate studies.
Engineering Concentration: The Engineering concentration allows students to explore a variety of
fields in engineering design and research as well as computer science, all
while developing their critical thinking and problem-solving skills
through a series of courses that integrate hands-on learning as a central
component. The Catholic
High Engineering curriculum includes Honors classes in Biology, Chemistry, Physics,
and Computer Science, along with specific classes geared toward Engineering. Students will also complete Calculus and a Senior Capstone Project.
Biomedicine Concentration: The Biomedical concentration at Catholic High
engages young women in the exploration of rigorous content in the medical
sciences field. The curriculum includes Biology, Chemistry, Anatomy and
Physiology, Public Health and Epidemiology, Histology and Pathology, and Clinical Studies.
Through a combination of course work in our hospital simulation room, research,
field experiences, and speakers, students explore a wide variety of college
majors and post college careers.
Sports Medicine Concentration: The
Sports Medicine Concentration at Catholic High engages young women in the
exploration of content in the Sports Medicine field. Students study Anatomy and
Physiology, Kinesiology, and Clinical curriculum
related to Sports Medicine. The Sports Medicine Concentration is for students
interested in careers in Sports Medicine, Athletic Training, Orthopedics,
Exercise Physiology, Kinesiotherapy, Physiatry, and Physical Therapy.
Students may apply for more than one concentration. Please complete the application choosing all
concentrations you are interested in.
Please note that TCHS will consider the following criteria:
~ Academic grades in math and science (Engineering concentration requires Honors Algebra
II freshman year)
~ Standardized test results
~ High School Placement Test results
Please submit this completed form to the Office of Enrollment NO LATER THAN
