Yes, because I believe it is important to learn about the place we live in, and other explanations of the world. It can also be a great subject to take up in Uni, and can lead to a pretty decent career.
YES
it should be it will keep people in school
Probably. It depends on your specific school. You should ask your guidance counselor questions like this. At my high school, only one science course was required in order to graduate. There was a slight stigma associated with the "General Science" class (it was usually referred to as "science for dummies"), so most people who didn't want to take more than one science class but also didn't want to take "General Science" took Biology instead. They could alternatively have taken Physics or Chemistry, but these were widely regarded as being more difficult.
The motto of Malatya Science High School is 'It is a privilege to be a Malatya Science High School graduate'.
Classes that have something to do with science are always your best bet. Biology and Life Science are great classes for this. Unfortunatlly, most schools don't have a riding team for you to get experience with horses in that area! There isn't much in high school to prepare for that career. Find a school you want to attend and then take the required classes for admission into that school along with some advanced science courses.
Public speaking, debate team, political science (if your high school has it).
Biology
Principles of Health Science, Medical Terminology, Medical Science, Medical Math, ETC.
