What an AMAZING way to lead into our Homecoming game tonight! Our first pep rally of the 2024 school year was a SUCCESS! We recognized our HoCo court, enjoyed music and entertainment from our cheerleaders & band/color guard, & played some fun games. Congrats to the SENIORS for taking home the spirit stick! Kick-off tonight is at 7:30PM with HoCo crowning taking place at halftime! We are so proud of our Rockets!

Today in Mrs. Morgan Taylor's chemistry classes, students were tasked with separating a mixture of sugar and sand. They designed, developed, and implemented the procedures they created with their partners to recover as close to 100% of the sugar in their mixture as possible. The group from each class closest to 100% recovery will win a prize!
The lab connected to their previous learning: identifying lab equipment, using lab tools safely, classifying different types of matter, as well as physical and chemical changes. Today's lab uses all of the knowledge they have been learning in a practical way.
Congratulations to our ACT Rock Stars!!! Over fifty seniors have ACT composite scores of 20 or higher!
Way to go, Rockets!!!
