Students at Hilliard Middle-Senior High School are engaging in hands-on science learning in Mr. Conner’s biology class. Through pig dissection labs, students are exploring organ systems, comparing structures, and gaining a deeper understanding of how living organisms function.

These real-world learning experiences support state science standards while building critical thinking and analytical skills as students prepare for the Biology End-of-Course exam.
