Science and Engineering education in the White Plains City School District fosters the development of scientifically literate critical thinkers who are able to apply science skills to pursue their aspirations and contribute to society as informed citizens.  

We seek to engage all students in the use of scientific reasoning and thinking skills and the examination of real-world examples relevant to their lives.
