Mr. Ken Zachmann, ITL

Biography
Mr. Ken Zachman attended the University of Maryland where he earned a BS Degree in Chemistry and a Masters Degree in Biochemistry.

His career includes coaching
Boys Soccer, Girls Soccer, Boys Lacrosse, WAGS Soccer and one proud year as the class sponsor
of the class of 96. Mr. Zachmann
also works during the summer
with kids employed by the Columbia Association.

He has been the ITL for Science since 1979 and I have loved every year of service to his department and the Hammond community.
Mr. Zachmann's greatest accomplishment in life has been
the growth and develoment of
his children into fine young
adults. His goal as a teacher is to help other parents experience the same enjoyment that he has had. His children benefited from excellent teachers and coaches
so it is his goal to provide the
same benefits to all the students
in the Science department.
 
 
Science Department Faculty

Science Department Overview
The science courses are designed to provide an effective student-centered approach to learning that engages students physically and mentally in an inquiry-based
laboratory program. The major goal is to develop substantive science literacy in all students.

The courses provide students
with opportunities to expand, enhance,
and modify the ways in which they view
the world. Such course variety provides
an environment that promotes student thinking, honesty, curiosity, and
questioning. Students are encouraged to
express and share ideas, solve problems,
and make decisions based on evidence.

Some men see things as they are and Mr. Zachmann
 
    ask, 'why?' I dream things that never were and ask,'why not?'
      ~Robert F. Kennedy  (paraphrased from a quote by George Bernard
                               Shaw and  a favorite of Mr. Zachmann's)
