Abstract	Adapted a high school physics program to make physics less elite and more accessible to all students. Students surveys evaluated their attitudes regarding the effectiveness of the new conceptual approach. Results indicated that the approach opened the door to physics for many traditionally underrepresented groups. Students considered the revised textbook thorough and relevant, and they had positive attitudes toward the textbook's conceptual approach and toward the course itself. (SM)
