                                                  . . . and welcome to the Devil Physics Phamily.  There is a reason we're known as the Baddest Class on Campus.  Physics is generally known as the toughest of the sciences, and is only offered as an elective.

                                                  Consequently, Devil Physics students are among the best and brightest in the school.  This is evidenced by five National Merit Scholarship Semi-Finalists, and IB exam scores above the world averages.  Devil Physics students excel in other areas also:  valedictorian, salutatorian, varsity athletes, homecoming court, senior superlatives, and class officers to name a few.  Students are the class, and the class is The Baddest Class on Campus.

                                                  Physics is a means of explaining what occurs in nature through mathematics.  We will study mechanics, electrics, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, light and optics, nuclear physics, and relativity.  Go to your class page, stroll through the syllabus and you'll have no doubt why we're the Baddest Class on Campus.
