Science Research
Shaker High School has started a "University" in the High School Science Research program. In this program, students are offered the opportunity to select a scientific topic and perform original research. In this three-year program, students first gather background information, find a mentor, perform their research, and reach a conclusion based on the results.
The program is run by Biology teacher Nathaniel Covert. A symposium is held in June each year, where Shaker students, teachers, mentors, and parents are welcome.
