'''Mills Edwin Godwin High School''' is located in [[The West End (Richmond, Virginia)|The West End]] of [[Henrico County]], [[Virginia]]. The school, operated by [[Henrico County Public Schools]], was named in honor of [[Mills E. Godwin Jr.]] (1914-1999) who was [[List of Governors of Virginia|Governor]] of [[Virginia]] for two non-consecutive terms (1966 to 1970 and 1974 to 1978). Its mascot is the Eagle.

In [[1980]], Godwin High School opened its doors to students. It remained the newest high school in Henrico County until Deep Run High School opened its doors in [[2002]]. There are over 2,000 students in the student body. Freeman High School is Godwin's biggest rival. They compete against each other in the regular sports season and at district, regional, and state matches. The most recent loss to Freeman was on September 9th where their boys JV and Varsity volleyball teams were hashly defeated.

The program consists of sciences, math, and technology of today's world. It allows students use these concepts through real world applications, and it prepares them for careers in science and math, and allows students to take courses usually presented in college levels. (Math Modeling, Advanced Math Topics, Statistics, Biotechnology, Microscopy, Genetics...)

Students participating in the Specialty Center program are required to conduct independent or collaborative original research and to enter their work in at least one competition annually. Students develop skills in research methodologies through their science and mathematics coursework, and their studies in such courses as Tools of Research, Research Applications, and AP Statistics. Their research is conducted at a variety of locations: the Specialty Center facility, student's home, laboratories of local universities and industries. Students in this program participate in annual science fairs, including the Metro Richmond Science Fair and the Virginia Junior Academy of Science (VJAS). Many winners from Godwin have advanced to the State Science & Engineering Fair and the International Science & Engineering Fair (ISEF). Additionally, Mills E. Godwin has contributed 4 students to the Virginia delegation to the International Space Olympics held in Russia.

-------

Center students take the Center required core courses in addition to the courses taken in the comprehensive high school for the advanced studies diploma. In the junior and senior years, Center students continue to study core concepts in science and mathematics through Center courses, advanced placement (AP) coursework, and Center designed semester electives while engaging in research projects, mentorships, and field studies. Successful graduation from the program requires that students complete a minimum of 12 units of approved mathematics, science, research, and technology coursework to include the Center required core courses, AP statistics, and two Center electives.

Students do extensive research projects and assignments for honors credit.

Mathematical Modeling & Discrete Topics
The honors year elective develops mathematical models that solve problems from the biological and physical sciences, economics, and political science. The models use appropriate mathematical concepts from game, voting, and graph theories, as well as algebra, geometry, precalculus, trigonometry, and calculus. Also, topics such as queues, optimization, and growth equations are studied. Students are required to create a comprehensive project.

Microbiology & Techniques of Microscopy
This one year course is designed for students with specific project goals utilizing microscope technologies as it applies to microbiology and various other fields. Fundamentals of microbiology lab techniques and the microbial impacts on human health and culture are explored. Light microscopy as well as electron microscopy will be explored to extend science content knowledge across the science curriculum as well as to develop further skills in data collection and microscopic techniques. Students will learn to prepare specimens, capture and develop images, and interpret data from microscopic samples of various materials.

Advanced Topics in Mathematics Students explore a sampling of the following during a year-long honors course:

Number Theory the beauties and intricacies of pure mathematics by examining selected topics from the theory of numbers. Topics will include: divisibility, congruences, the Euler phi-function, Fermat's Theorem primitive roots, and Diophantine equations.

Linear Algebra
Students examine the basic concepts of linear algebra. Topics will include: systems of linear equations, vector spaces, linear dependence, bases, dimensions, linear transformations, matrices, determinants, quadratic forms, othogonal reduction to diagonal form, and eigenvalues.

Introduction to Probability Theory
Students examine the basic concepts of the mathematical theory of probability. Topics will include: finite and infinite sample spaces, discrete random variables, continuous random variables, mathematical expectation, functions of random variables, and sampling distributions.

Capital improvement funds were allocated by the Henrico County School Board to provide for the construction of the Specialty Center facility at Godwin High School. All center classes are housed in the Specialty Center addition as well as an office area for student conferences and access to a printer. The addition also includes several classrooms and two large "wet labs". The center also contains a BL2, (Biological Level 2) safety hood and a dedicated room for work with bacterial isolates and genetic studies as well as a thermal cycler for PCR, gel and protein electrophoresis equipment, bacteriological incubators and a gas chromatograph. The lab facilities enable students to perform experiments without interruption on specialized equipment.

In 1998, the addition of a scanning electron microscope was made possible through a partnership with Infineon Technologies-Richmond (White Oak Semiconductor).

Mills Edwin Godwin High School is located in The West End of Henrico County, Virginia. The school, operated by Henrico County Public Schools, was named in honor of Mills E. Godwin Jr. (1914-1999) who was Governor of Virginia for two non-consecutive terms (1966 to 1970 and 1974 to 1978). Its mascot is the Eagle.

In 1980, Godwin High School opened its doors to students. It remained the newest high school in Henrico County until Deep Run High School opened its doors in 2002. There are over 2,000 students in the student body. Freeman High School is Godwin's biggest rival. They compete against each other in the regular sports season and at district, regional, and state matches. The most recent loss to Freeman was on September 9th where their boys JV and Varsity volleyball teams were hashly defeated.

Science, Mathematics and Technology Specialty Center

The Science, Mathematics, and Technology Specialty Center housed at Mills E. Godwin High School opened in the fall of 1994. The Center promotes and supports the expansion of opportunities for high school students, provides unique and innovative learning opportunities, and helps meet the continually changing needs of the diverse student population in Henrico County.

The program consists of sciences, math, and technology of today's world. It allows students use these concepts through real world applications, and it prepares them for careers in science and math, and allows students to take courses usually presented in college levels. (Math Modeling, Advanced Math Topics, Statistics, Biotechnology, Microscopy, Genetics...)

Students participating in the Specialty Center program are required to conduct independent or collaborative original research and to enter their work in at least one competition annually. Students develop skills in research methodologies through their science and mathematics coursework, and their studies in such courses as Tools of Research, Research Applications, and AP Statistics. Their research is conducted at a variety of locations: the Specialty Center facility, student's home, laboratories of local universities and industries. Students in this program participate in annual science fairs, including the Metro Richmond Science Fair and the Virginia Junior Academy of Science (VJAS).
