Our club sponsor, Mrs. Andrea Harms, has worked effortlessly to make sure that Biology Club members are offered endless opportunities to expand their biology knowledge. A graduate of the University of Iowa, her biological pedagogy is unmatched. As the teacher of both AP Biology and Biology at West High for 20 years, she has taught hundreds of students and guided 90% of her students to a passing score of 3+ on the 2024 national AP Biology exam. She has been featured on multiple research publications, one of which was presented at the 2024 AI in Biology Symposium at Harvard University. As our sponsor she has provided a venue for club meetings, logistics management, and general guidance to our team as we navigate the world of biology. Her invaluable contributions to our team help us thrive and fulfill our mission. We are forever grateful for her contribution to Biology club and to her community!
