• Bishop offers multiple honors and AP science courses: Honors Biology, Honors Chemistry, Honors Anatomy & Physiology, AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Physics 1, and AP Physics 2.
  
  

• Students in all science courses conduct argument-driven inquiry labs aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards.
  
  

• All of Bishop Montgomery's Honors and AP courses have a regularly-paced class (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Anatomy & Physiology) for students who desire science courses without the accelerated pace and course load of an honors or AP class.
  
  

• In 2016-17 school year, Bishop launched its Sports Medicine pathway. This pathway is designed to provide students who are interested in life sciences, and a possible career in sports medicine, the opportunity to focus their science curriculum to this area, culminating in a sports medicine class / internship with BMHS athletic trainers during the senior year. 
  • • Sports Medicine & Exercise Science: This full-year science course is designed to incorporate and expand upon the essential knowledge learned during the student’s biology course. It will explore the science components of sport and exercise including biomechanics, exercise physiology, psychology, nutrition, & performance techniques. It will also include the specifics of sports medicine with the exploration of therapeutic careers, medical terminology, anatomy & physiology as it relates to sport and injury, kinesiology, detailed evaluation skills, first aid competencies, the healing process, injury prevention, rehabilitation techniques, and therapeutic modalities. Multiple laboratory activities and scholarly article reviews are integrated as essential aids in the learning process to extend the students comprehension and application of the current technology and information associated with the science.
