ABSTRACT
The article focuses on the reasons why biological science should be a part of the high school curriculum in the United States. Biology is a subject very rich in cultural values. Its teaching will likely increase the horizon unexpectedly and make the world an interesting place to live in. High school biology may be used as a means for instructing the youth in the importance of sex hygiene. For this reason, the study of biology in high schools should be implemented. The role of sex factor in human life is greater than realized.
