Ms. Golbek's AP Biology class is hard at work learning about protein folding. Protein folding is a complex process where a linear chain of amino acids folds into a specific three-dimensional structure, essential for its function.

By manipulating pipe cleaners and beads to mimic the folding process, students gained a deeper understanding of how amino acid characteristics such as polarity and charge determine protein structure and function.

The students YOU built are now building a legacy at Claremore High School. CHS National Honor Society HOPE RACE (for education) is off to a great start and we would like to see some of our teachers and staff come out and participate. The race is planned, coordinated, promoted, and executed by our membership. All proceeds will go back to CHS for teaching supplies, co-curricular field trips, etc. This is an official timed 10K, 5K, and Fun Run (The Fun Run will have a 1-mile marker and for those that want to go a bit further a 2-mile marker). You may register online at: https://runsignup.com/claremorehoperace or pickup a physical registration form in the 900 Hall offices. NHS has been an integral part of giving back to our local school sites as volunteers, shadow students, tutors, etc. and they hope they will see you on April 20th.
