Bachelors in Chemistry, Teaching Credential, and Masters in Education from University of La Verne 8th Year Teaching – 7th at Hemet High I grew up on a dairy and married into a farming (citrus) family. Own and operate a fruit stand in East Hemet with my husband. Who am I?

Designed for students that want to take more science classes, especially AP Biology, AP Chemistry, and AP Physics. Not designed for students who just want the “honors” designation. I assume kids in the honors class have a stronger math background and I will move much faster than regular chemistry. I recommend they are in Algebra 2 or Higher. Does not help GPA at all. Still counts as a 4pt class. Honors Chemistry
