🛠️❤️ Problem-Solving in Action! ❤️🛠️
Senior Savannah Brian and 8th grader Brently Bunch took on a real-world challenge in our EAST program by repairing a 3D printer before they could even begin printing. After troubleshooting and fixing the issue, they successfully printed a heart for the very first time—and we couldn’t be more excited!
This is hands-on learning at its best: perseverance, teamwork, and critical thinking all in one project. Way to go, Savannah and Brently!

Learning by doing! Our ninth-grade Physical Science students were fully engaged while playing Ion Caramba, an interactive activity designed to help them master ionic bonding through collaboration, problem-solving, and the real-time application of science concepts.
The Weekly Hermit. Week of January 12th-16th

HES 1st grade took Science class outside!

History came alive in Ms. Alexis Dunaway's 7th and 8th grade classes during the Haunted High School project! Students researched influential Americans from history and highlighted their impact on the nation. By choosing to present through posters, costumes, or monologue readings, students demonstrated creativity while strengthening research and presentation skills.






Ms. Alexis Dunaway's 8th-grade science students brought learning to life by designing and building magnetic roller coasters!
Through this hands-on project, students demonstrated their understanding of forces, motion, and magnetism while also strengthening creativity, critical thinking, and engineering skills.
We are so proud of our students for turning science concepts into innovative, working designs—this is what real-world learning looks like!
