The Hydrosphere - Grants Pass High School

Mike Strickler, Instructor

This page should give you a fairly good idea of what we will be doing in class on a day-to-day basis.
This is only a general guideline - there will be changes as we adjust to the reality of what actually happens.
Expect what you see!
