A legislative aid from Senator Cornyn's office toured Energy last week with HISD Board Member Mike Lunceford.  She was extremely impressed with the classrooms she visited and especially with our student presenters.  Students asked great questions about educational policy and what it is like to work in Washington, DC.

Texas A&M Galveston Aquatic Science Trip

This past Thursday aquatic science students were able to go to Texas A&M University at Galveston for a field trip. Once there, students were able to explore preserved aquatic specimen before gathering to get onto one of the many research vessels to travel into Galveston Bay. While setting out to gather samples in a trawl, students happily observed dolphins. In our catch students witnessed and held blue crabs, squid, sea robins, a sting ray, shrimp, and more!
