Students in Modern World History classes recently completed a unit comparing the Crusades to the modern conflict over Israel. Students reviewed multiple forms of media identifying bias and perspective. Students began to formulate their own opinions regarding the conflict in Israel through an in-class debate. As a culminating event, students acted as journalists, interviewing Salwa bin Ghali from Jenin, West Bank. This interview followed a conversation with Elihay Skital from Ashkelon, Israel. Students engaged in workplace learning by acting as journalists to prepare culturally sensitive, yet thought provoking, questions to pose to both guest speakers. Students were impressed with the passion and completely different perspectives from both speakers!
Students in Computer Integrated Manufacturing have been cycling through stations to learn manufacturing techniques! For each station, students go through an academic phase where they watch a video demonstration and take a safety and technique quiz. Students then move on to the next station where they are given technical drawings for something made using the technique in question.
Students practiced doing electronics soldering by attaching components to a silicon board, then splicing two wires together and waterproofing them with shrink tubing. They also practiced plumbers' work by pipe soldering different types of copper connectors to make a 3D shape, and check if the shape holds water.
Human Body System students enrolled in the Biomedical Pathway have begun investigating the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system and its control over the muscular system. Students also got creative and sketched the lobes of the brain and control centers on swim caps and wore them around school showcasing their work!
Students in Ms. Fochler's Algebra III with Trig class enjoyed a fun math activity where they used M&Ms to investigate the relationship between degrees and radians for angles in the coordinate plane.
Our Culinary Arts students worked in teams to design and assemble structures that they baked from scratch! Faculty will vote for the best design, construction, and landscape this week!
Our high school students are in the building and decorating phase of their gingerbread assignment. Houses will be on display in the library for all to see!
S in STEAM students performed a water quality test from a variety of sources including multiple locations in the high school and samples from home. The purpose was to identify the presence of any potential chemical issues that might indicate poor water quality. There was a range among samples taken from the homes of students but the school water was considered average and safe.
Congratulations to our High School Chorus Students who made the All State Choir! We are very proud of you!
The holiday season is here and Culinary students are designing and constructing gingerbread houses. Last week many students completed the baking and on Monday students began the construction process! Houses will be on display in the library for all to see!
Three of our seniors in HOSA are looking to fundraise for Stroke victims. They have chosen the Stroke Support Association to empower stroke survivors and their families with resources to recover, reclaim, and rebuild their lives. They have competed in Medical Innovations for the past two years designing a prototype to help stroke victims regain their hand function, now they have ventured on to Community Awareness, spreading information and awareness to and about stroke victims so their stories can be heard. You can help them by providing these victims with a little extra help! Every dollar counts! You can donate through the link attached. If you are unable to donate, please help us share the message!

Make sure to check them out the next time you're in the gym!
Yesterday students had a chance to explore Patriot Place and learn from their Marketing Team!
Students enrolled in Human Body Systems have learned to use a goniometer to diagnose possible issues with the proper function of a joint. By collecting data on the range of motion, students model the events a patient and physical therapist would engage in.
Students enrolled in S in STEAM have been learning about the role that plastic plays in our environment. Not all plastic or metal can be recycled so students turned what would be thrown away into art!
Students in our Medical Interventions class are studying the effects of bacterial conjugation on antibiotic immunity. Here they are streaking their plates with 2 strains of E. Coli. These colonies will then be incubated for 24 hours and inspected in their next class!
As part of his senior project, Dylan Johnson helped lead the Introduction to Sports Medicine class by setting up mock physical therapy simulations!
