Year of new challenges: Travis Science Academy offers students new class choices(August 11, 2010) Travis Science Academy students cannot yet go to college, but that will not stop colleges from going to them. The students at principal Eddy McNamara's school should have plenty to look forward to in 2010 - even years before potentially earning an associate degree upon graduating high school. Known as Travis Middle School until last year, Travis Science Academy's health science program launches its second year of operation with a new health science class for seventh-graders. The 2011-12 year will finalize the full program as its inaugural graduating class leaves the academy prepared for professional-level courses.
