I’m Dr. Pasternack, Science Department Coordinator. Welcome to the John Dewey High School Science Department webpage! We are excited to offer your child a vibrant and engaging journey into the world of science. Whether they dream of a future in science or simply want to strengthen their critical thinking skills, our programs are designed to spark curiosity and inspire discovery.

Beyond our core classes, students can explore electives like Anatomy and Physiology, Environmental Science, Ethnobotany, Game Development, Molecular Biology, Robotics & Engineering, and H3EAT. We also offer advanced placement courses in all major sciences.


We celebrate diversity and welcome students from all backgrounds, cultures, and languages—your unique perspective enriches our learning community. Science isn’t just about facts; it’s about understanding the world and addressing social issues to create a safe, healthy environment for everyone.


We look forward to supporting your child’s growth and curiosity through our dynamic and rigorous science courses!
