On March 18, the chemistry club and science club will be going to the Saint Louis College of Pharmacy. Students will spend the day touring the school and learning about its programs.

“They’re going to talk about the campus itself, what the GPA and ACT requirements are, when to apply, and financial expectations,” Chemistry teacher Donna Malkmus said.

Students will have the opportunity to make Calamine lotion while in the school’s lab.

“Well [the college] focuses on pharmacy and I believe you can directly apply it which is rare for a college,” Chemistry teacher Karen Hill said.

The Chemistry department didn’t come across the trip on their own. They received a call from a former student’s mom who worked at the college and told the Chemistry teachers that they could have a group of students tour the school. The field trip will serve as an opportunity for this college to get publicity while teachers get a field trip at little to no cost to the teachers.

A long with the the teachers, students are also looking forward to the trip.

“I think it’s going to be a lot of fun i can’t wait,” junior Andrew Brodnik said.
