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
