GRADUATION PROJECT JUDGES NEEDED!

We need judges to assist with Oral Boards! 

The Fall semester Oral Boards will be Wednesday, December 16, from 4:30 until 7:30.  The Graduation Project process consists of four components: the research paper, the physical product, the portfolio, and the oral presentation. 

Each judging team will be assigned to evaluate 3 to 4 students.  Although you will review each student's portfolio, visual aid, and research paper, your main function as a judge is to evaluate each student's oral presentation on his/her product.  You will also provide feedback for the students.

Please complete the Google document linked below (just click on the link) if you are willing to serve as a judge this year.

STEM Cycle Success!

This weekend four of our students, along with Mr. Millis and Mr. Moore, were in Northampton County attending an electric vehicle seminar and workshop. The students attending were Jabar Brewer, Dominic Harden, Joseph Jakway, and Elijah Leslie.

After many, many, many long and late hours during the school day and over this weekend our electric vehicle, the STEM Cycle, is finally up and running! Fully functioning! This is an electric vehicle we've built from scratch, from the ground up.

The students did an amazing job and our success this weekend was made possible by the efforts of former and current students. In addition to the students who attended the workshop this weekend, Thomas Craven and Abelardo Rivera have made huge contributions and without their help we wouldn't have got it done.
