🐍🦎 Spoiled doesn’t even begin to cover it!

Our Ag students have been showing some extra love to their cold-blooded classroom companions. From fresh meals to plenty of attention, this ball python and leopard gecko are living the good life thanks to the care and responsibility of our students!

Did you know? Ball pythons are known for their calm temperament and will often curl into a ball when they feel nervous, while leopard geckos store fat in their tails and are one of the most beginner friendly reptiles to care for.

Hands on experiences like this are what make learning come alive! 👏

✂️🌱 During Ag Day last Friday, we proudly celebrated the ribbon cutting of our new greenhouse. A project that will serve our students for years to come!

We were honored to hear from special speakers Delegate Runion, Joe Guthrie, and Brie Cox, who each shared their support for agricultural education and the importance of investing in our students’ futures. The moment was made official as Mrs. Neil cut the ribbon, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter for our program!

A special thank you to Mrs. Jennnifer Neil, Mr. Good, Dr. Maerz, Dr. Nycum, our Highland County School Board members, and the Highland County Board of Supervisors for their vision and support in making this greenhouse dream a reality.

This new space creates incredible hands-on learning opportunities, allowing students to explore plant science, sustainability, and real-world agricultural practices in a meaningful way. 🌿

🌸 Come see it for yourself!
Join us for our Plant Sale on Saturday, May 9th. We can’t wait to share what our students have been growing!

🏗️⚙️ Mr. Warf’s physics students put their engineering skills to the test by designing and building balsa wood towers then seeing just how much weight they could hold.

From careful design to the moment of truth, students explored concepts like force, load distribution, and structural integrity in a hands-on way. Learning that sticks (and sometimes snaps!) is the best kind. 😄

🧠🚫 No Tech Tuesday = Hands-On Learning! 🐖❤️

Today in Mrs. Neil’s Ag class, students traded screens for science as they dissected pig hearts! This engaging, real-world activity gave them a closer look at anatomy and how the heart functions—bringing textbook concepts to life in a memorable way.

From identifying chambers to understanding blood flow, our students jumped right in and weren’t afraid to get their hands a little messy in the name of learning! 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬

We love seeing curiosity, teamwork, and practical skills all come together like this.

We were honored to welcome Delegate Chris Runion to Highland County Public Schools this past Friday! 🇺🇸📚

Delegate Runion spent time with our students recognizing their hard work and dedication by personally handing out Honor Roll letters. Moments like these mean so much to our students—it’s a great reminder that their efforts are seen, valued, and celebrated beyond the classroom.

Thank you, Delegate Runion, for taking the time to invest in our students and celebrate their achievements. We are incredibly proud of our Rams and all they continue to accomplish!

Go Rams! 🐏✨

🚌🇺🇸 Our 8th grade students recently traveled to Washington, D.C. for unforgettable learning and exploration! From visiting historic landmarks to experiencing our nation’s history firsthand, students had the opportunity to connect what they’ve learned in the classroom to the world around them.

Trips like this create lasting memories and deepen understanding in ways that go far beyond textbooks. We’re so proud of our students and grateful they had this opportunity!
