  This article describes a set of curriculum modifications designed to
integrate gravitational-wave science into a high school physics or astronomy
curriculum. Gravitational-wave scientists are on the verge of being able to
detect extreme cosmic events, like the merger of two black holes, happening
hundreds of millions of light years away. Their work has the potential to
propel astronomy into a new era by providing an entirely new means of observing
astronomical phenomena. Gravitational-wave science encompasses astrophysics,
physics, engineering, and quantum optics. As a result, this curriculum exposes
students to the interdisciplinary nature of science. It also provides an
authentic context for students to learn about astrophysical sources, data
analysis techniques, cutting-edge detector technology, and error analysis.
