Biotechnology and Microbiology are growing areas of biology that many high schools are starting to incorporate into their curricula. Many students are now choosing to narrow down their major in college from a broad life sciences field like biology to a more specialized major like biotechnology or microbiology.

This report proposes how Holy Name High School can change their life science laboratories to bridge the gap between high school and university in order to prepare students for this shift to more specialized majors.
