The science department staff at Region III is committed to ensuring all students are successful in science education. Teachers are offered intense hands on trainings that allow their students to see the science in everyday life. Thorough knowledge of the TEKS, critical thinking skills, differentiated instruction, and scientific process skills are our common goals to achieving lifelong learners.
