Upper School Honors Science Program
Each year students in the Upper School Honors Science Program conduct independent research projects, submit their written findings, and present an oral report at the South Carolina Junior Academy of Science (SCJAS) Annual Meeting. Each project competes in one of thirteen categories: Biochemistry, Botany, Cell/Molecular Biology, Chemistry, Consumer Affairs, Engineering, Math and Computer Science, Microbiology, Physics, Physiology & Health, Psychology & Sociology, or Zoology. SCJAS is the only state-wide organization of South Carolina high school students designed to stimulate and promote interest among its members through the development of independent research in science and mathematics. These investigations are of a problem-solving nature and their design serves as a means for students to do exciting things in science and mathematics beyond regular classroom activities.
