Throughout the activity, students were able to earn points by completing missions, view the leaderboard, and compete for the win. Students had a great time exploring the prairie on a beautiful day, used their phones for educational purposes, and got some exercise all while learning about ecology!

What do teachers do when students have off?
|
While many teachers have more than a bachelor's degree, that doesn't stop them from learning more. On Friday, September 18, HUHS teachers participated in a professional learning day to collaborate and learn with colleagues. The focus of for the day was how to provide deeper learning experiences for students through delivering rich content in innovate ways to allow students to learn and apply what they have learned. Teachers across disciplines planned how to connect content from different courses through projects and activities. Examples include connecting chemistry and auto, connecting algebra and welding, connecting creative writing and art, and connecting military history and literature. Teachers also engaged in ways to make assessments more meaningful for students and teachers. You can check out some of the conversations on Twitter at #huhsedchat.

PSAT/NMSQT for Juniors
College-bound juniors should consider taking the PSAT/NMSQT, which is the best preparation for the SAT and entry into the National Merit Scholarship Corporation programs. It is an optional exam that measures critical reading, mathematical reasoning, and writing skills that are important for success in college. Students do not have to recall facts from literature, history, science, or math formulas. This test measures reasoning and critical thinking skills.
All students who take the PSAT/NMSQT will receive an official score report. They will receive scores for critical reading, mathematics, and writing skills and will see how their score compares to those of other students across the country. Students will be able to see which answers they got right or wrong. They will also receive information about how they performed on specific academic skills.
Students who take the test will receive free access to My College QuickStart, an online college and planning tool that contains an online PSAT/NMSQT Score Report; a customized SAT Study Plan; a personality test; and personalized lists of colleges, majors, and careers. For more information, visit
