Advanced Science Research Magnet Program at Sarasota High School
In the fall of 1995, the School of Excellence in Math, Science, and Technology (MaST) was established at SHS (Sarasota High School). The MaST Research Institute operates as a school-within-a-school and is intended to provide qualified students with a rigorous enriched curriculum to prepare them for entry into Math, Science, Medical or Engineering related careers following high school.
The program offers a common academic core coupled with mentor-supervised research, internships, career shadowing, and participation in summer institutes. The MaST Research Institute offers students a competitive edge when applying to university degree programs.
The research program is based on providing students who are interested in the areas of math, science, and technology a place to pursue research in those areas.
