New Chemistry and Physics Lab Dedicated

The ribbon cutting and dedication of the new Mark A. Gilmore Chemistry and Physics Learning Laboratory was held on March 27th, 2008. Dr. Gilmore was a medical doctor with grandchildren who attend Christian Unified Schools. His wife, Brenda Gilmore, underwrote the renovation of the lab as a gift to Christian High in honor of her late husband’s passion for education, especially in the sciences.

The renovation was coordinated by Chemistry and Physics teacher Mr. Bill Smith. Each lab station includes a new laptop computer loaded with advanced software that enables real-time graphical and numerical analysis of experimental data. The software and related equipment allows students to perform numerical and graphical video analysis of any type of motion and measure chemical compositions. The room has four state-of-art fume hoods that allow students to safely perform college-level chemical experiments. It also includes a 54” plasma screen, dual projectors for PowerPoint and document camera demonstrations – and much more.

This new facility is a great enhancement to the students’ academic experiences. To learn more about Christan Unified High School in San Diego, CA, click here.
