After three immersive trips exploring the delicate balance of life, our biology students took their final adventure to the RSU Nature Reserveβthis time, diving into an aquatic ecosystem to see nature at work firsthand!
From analyzing abiotic factors like water temperature and light, to observing biotic interactions among aquatic plants, insects, and fish, students applied their classroom knowledge in a living lab.
Each step brought them closer to understanding how ecosystems truly functionβand this final trip made the science come alive.






Our FFA students were proudly recognized at the Oklahoma FFA State Convention this past week, and we couldnβt be more excited to celebrate their incredible achievements!
Before heading to convention, the chapter came together for an End-of-Year Celebration to honor their hard work, dedication, and all theyβve accomplished this yearβand they gave us plenty to cheer about!

πβ¨ In Mr. Pettus' Geography class, students explored the fascinating world of boundaries and natural disasters! ππ
Working in groups, they chose a specific natural disaster or type of boundary, then created amazing visuals packed with facts and images. From earthquakes to volcanic eruptions and plate tectonics, their creativity and research skills really shined!
