Bright Futures screening dates have been released!

We all know that March has its NCAA "March Madness", so we started our own music competition bracket in Spanish class during March---MANIA MUSICAL. Classes hear 2 Spanish songs and vote which they liked better. Then votes are compiled from all high school Spanish classes, and a winner is declared. We have reached our "final four". We will be able to declare this year's winner of Mania Musical on April 27. It's so much fun to hear all kinds of music from various Hispanic artists.

Today, the senior ICC Composition students are peer-review speed-dating the final essay of their high school career!

The water we drink has specific ratios of oxygen isotopes. Where a person lives or has travelled can be determined by analyzing hair samples for those isotopes. Using an 'isoscape' map and the hair analysis, has led to solving missing persons gases. Our analogue lab uses beans to represent oxygen isotopes.

English III discussed Fahrenheit 451 while sipping Nighthawk's Coffee today. Nothing like great coffee and great conversation about classic literature.

Enriched English II had a wonderful discussion, psychoanalyzing, the characters in our current novel, A Separate Peace. Thank you Nighthawks Coffee for having us. #TheTrojanWay

The seniors were busy this week with senior interviews. We are thankful to those interviewers that take time out of their busy schedules for our students! We had lots of compliments on our students. Graduation is creeping up on them 🧡🖤

The Industrial Arts class is making progress in there construction unit. Today they worked on the electrical side of construction. They attached and wired an electrical box to their wall frame. The next step in this process is putting in dry wall. Construction is one of the many different trades we teach in the classroom. This gives students a look into the various trade careers. #TheTrojanWay #Elmwood322 #TrojanForge

We've learned that wiring PV cells in series affect voltage, but not amperage. Today in Physical Science, we test to see what happens when we wire in parallel.

The Industrial Arts students are building wall sections in their construction section. The cutting of their 2x4s went well and building out their walls and connecting them has gone just as well. Rough wiring coming next! #TheTrojanWay #Elmwood322
