Fred Young

Fred Young is the Science Department Head at L.V. Rogers Secondary School in Nelson. His belief in a hands-on approach to science has led to many field studies, such as water and soil analysis, marine biology trips to the B.C. coast, visits to a hospital medical lab, and more. A former student said, "He (Mr. Young) has left me with a love and understanding of the natural world and some very exciting career prospects."
