Environmental Studies and Animal Science

  • Dowdell’s Environmental Studies program has been well established in the Magnet Community for years and we recently added the Animal Sciences program in 2021! These programs provide an interdisciplinary, learner-centered approach to engaging students in their learning as never before! School tours are available upon request, stephanie.tamargo@hcps.net. 

  • Unique electives found in Dowdell Middle Magnet’s Program are:

    • High school credit courses in areas such as Agriculture and Agriculture Communication and Marketing
    • Outdoor Education Areas where students gain valuable hands-on experience
    • Environmental projects and research on campus
    • Animal Sciences career awareness (such as in Veterinary Science) with partners from around Tampa Bay
