Program of Study
All magnet students seek the College Preparatory Seal with Distinction and have a concentration in Research and Medical Sciences. In addition to the general course of study required for a state diploma from a Cobb County High School, magnet students follow a prescribed curriculum in science, research, and medical science. Core courses are based upon current Cobb County honors curriculum with the incorporation of standards in research and medical sciences infused throughout. These core classes establish a firm foundation in biology, chemistry, mathematics, and technology that support future research and studies in the medical science. Students design and implement research projects throughout the program. Areas of research include, but are not limited to life sciences, physics, chemistry, technology, and biotechnology. The capstone of the Magnet program is a medical science research project that is formally presented to faculty, students, parents, and mentors during senior year. In most cases, student research is associated with a professional internship within a specific field of study.
