Chem/Food Science partners with Zentis

Zentis Food Solutions is proud to be a community sponsor for the Weidner School of Inquiry @PHS. I was immensely impressed with the professionalism of both the department, as well as the students. I was treated with a great amount of respect, and felt that the students truly had an interest in what I had to say. The environment that the students are supplied with is a huge asset to prepare them for college, as well as the professional world. Teamwork is encouraged, as well as free and open thinking.

In my own professional field, the skills the students are given will be huge assets in their future. If a student is already prepared to work well in a team based environment, and does not feel judged for their opinions, they will be miles ahead of the average graduate. 

Pairing Food Science with the general Chemistry course allows the students to see real world applications of what they are studying. When you can see what your lessons can accomplish in the professional world, it makes the learning more enjoyable and valuable.

Students, thanks for your wonderful questions and attention.

Teachers, thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my own passion with a new generation.

Sidenote, I'm jealous that I didn't have this chance in high school.

Back to School at the Weidner School of Inquiry

The phrase, it’s back to school time, usually fills students with dread at the prospect of long hours confined to a classroom and even longer hours devoted to homework. But for each of the learners at the Weidner School of Inquiry the prospect of a new school year must fill you with anticipation at all that lies ahead to be experienced and accomplished.

The unique opportunities provided to the WSOI learners to be educated in a way that not only enhances conventional learning but also encourages the student to develop characteristics such as personal responsibility and community awareness is an exciting concept. The directors and teachers at WSOI are so enthusiastic about the unlimited possibilities of all of you and will be wonderful mentors in your quest for success. Each of you has the chance to receive an excellent education while expanding your knowledge of our business community and those who comprise it. There are many family businesses in Plymouth, each with their own story of accomplishing success through dedication, hard work and perseverance. Please take advantage of the opportunity to learn about them and from them.

It is our family’s wish that every student at WSOI will discover his or her own potential and fulfill it in such a way that will bring them success in whatever they choose to do in life. We also hope that each of you will give back to our community and help it thrive. If your path in life leads you elsewhere take a little bit of Plymouth with you and contribute in positive ways to your chosen community.
