The purpose of the Cooper Academy of Mathematics and Science (CAMS) is to provide our students who have excelled in mathematics, science, and reading a high school curriculum rich with high level mathematics and science courses that will both challenge and prepare them for a post-secondary mathematics or science career. The CAMS program offers two different areas of focus: engineering and medical profession. Students who enter this program will be surrounded with like-minded peers and a dedicated set of teachers to help push them to meet their full potential.
