SANTA SUSANA HIGH SCHOOL
ACADEMY OF
SCIENTIFIC MODELING
AND INQUIRY
Developing real-world problem solving methods through hands-on laboratory learning.
Santa Susana High’s Scientific Modeling and Inquiry Pathway is the standard for cutting edge career and college training. With the 2018 Ventura County Engineering Teacher of the Year, and 3 Amgen biotech trained teachers, SSHS continues to send its graduates on to first-class institutions such as Johns Hopkins University, UC Berkeley Engineering, UCLA, and Duke University, among others. Our top-ranked robotics teams smother competition across the Southland and our students work hand-in-hand with JPL and NASA engineers. Currently, students are working on a submersible drone project with the United States Navy. The Applied Science Series seminar students continue to produce our renowned Distinguished Speaker (Med-X) Series, STEAM Exposition, and Astronomy Night.
Science Pathway
The rigorous courses and exciting options allow students to explore all of the domains of science, and to explore the myriad of sub-fields. Science at Santa Su embraces the innovative thinker. The small nature of the school and its close-knit community inspire each other to strive to achieve previously thought to be unachievable goals. Students from our pathways find themselves well prepared for any four-year university or college in the country.
