| AP BioPsych Bundle Guest |
On 1/4/18, the AP BioPsych Bundle class had the pleasure of learning from Dr. Caron Dean. Dr. Dean works at the Medical College of Wisconsin and shared her research on stress, pain, and endocannabinoids. It was a great way for students to make connections between research and the content we cover in class. HUHS has been so lucky to have a great working relationship with researchers at MCW. Whether it be the SMART Team, Conversations with Scientists, site visits or guest speakers, HUHS and MCW work together to extend the classroom beyond the typical curriculum!

HUHS Smart Team Visits Medical College
|
The HUHS SMART team visited the lab of Dr. Mark McNally at the Medical College of Wisconsin on Jan. 11th. Students had the opportunity to discuss their model of SRSF2, a protein involved with alternate splicing of RNA. They also got to discuss how the protein structures are solved using both x-ray crystallography and magnetic resonance imaging. The PhD's they talked with were impressed by their background knowledge and experiences they've had in the lab as PLTW students.

Students in my English class gave reading project presentations in small groups, utilizing all the wonderful technology here at HUHS. Since I came from a school without all these resources, I find it awesome :). I just wanted to acknowledge what great resources we have, space, technology, etc. to do creative things. ~Ms. Ringhand

ACT TESTING - 2017-18
All students considering a two or four-year college experience are reminded to take the ACT test during their junior year. Students can register for the ACT at
www.actstudent.org. When registering, students will need the HUHS school code, which is 500-850. Please remember to check the website to see if the college(s) your son or daughter is considering requires or recommends the ACT writing test. The test fee for the ACT is $46.00 and the ACT with writing is $62.50. If you feel you cannot afford the test fee, please ask your child's counselor if you are eligible for a fee waiver.
HUHS is an ACT test center for all testing dates (except February 10). The test dates for the 2017-2018 school year are:
February 10, 2018

Note: Please keep in mind all juniors are required by state law to take the ACT at the high school on February 27 (no cost to the student on February 27). When considering whether or not to sign up to take the February 10 or April 14 ACT, it may be best for students to take the February 27 test, then decide whether or not to retake the test in June or July based upon February results.

Hartford Union Places 5th at West Bend West Invitational
|
 It's what both Hartford Union gymnastics coach Mary Scherr and West Bend West coach Jackie Vorpahl mentioned, as did their gymnasts, after the West Bend West Invitational concluded
Saturday at West Bend.
There were positives, as well - the Spartans still placed third, beating out Manitowoc by nine-tenths of a point (130.425-129.525). The Orioles, who missed several varsity starters because of an academic school-related function, placed fifth with 126.45 points and had two athletes - Annie Mularski and Emily Perkowski - in the top eight of the all-around standings.
"I think we did OK," Scherr said. "There is lots we can improve on, but overall I'm OK with how we did for the most part." Click here to read full article.

Hartford Rallies to Beat West Bend West
|
 Tyler Klein knew he needed just two points for a technical fall.
But the Hartford Union freshman 106-pounder - who is shorter than 5 feet and weighs in at usually 14-15 pounds under the weight limit - also knew "a pin is a lot cooler," as he said after the Orioles claimed a 51-27 North Shore Conference dual win against West Bend West.
So Klein, who was beating Spartans sophomore Ian Mueller 15-2 at the time, pushed for and got the pin at the 5 minute, 3 second mark. Klein's pinfall turned the tide for Hartford, which claimed six consecutive matches to turn a 27-15 deficit into the victory.
"I've done enough dual meets in my youth that I learn (about) momentum and how that plays a big role in the meets," said Klein, who has wrestled since his early middle school years. "It's one more team point, too."
Hartford's point surge included three pins, with Connor Gishkowsky (126 pounds, 1:35) and Daniel Driessen (132, 5:03) grabbing the other two. The Orioles also claimed forfeit wins at 285, 113 and 120.
"We're very happy he went for the pin," Hartford coach Corey McCauley said of Klein. "We knew we'd need the team points. I give credit to West, they are very tough inthe upper weights. I was very happy when we got back to the lower weights because that's kind of our strength."Hartford led 39-27 after Jalen Spuhler had his hand raised at 120, then Gishkowsky took down Thomas Duncan and got three near-fall points before the pinfall. "I was just trying to do my best and help the team out, seal the win," Gishkowsky said. "(Klein) set the momentum, wrestling up 14 pounds, still destroying these kids." The Orioles led 6-0 after Jered Stark's pin at 138, then Kobi Kirsch added another pin at 145 for a 12-0 score. Click here to read the full article.

December Athlete of the Month
|
Josh Much has led the Boys varsity Basketball to a 4 - 2 conference record. He leads by example of rebounding, passing the ball to the open man, while playing strong defense. He has taken a leadership role by working hard in practice, coaching others to help them out, and offered to play out of position at times to make the team stronger. ~ Coach McKenna

OriOwls Dominate Nicolet Knights in the Pool!
|
The swimming OriOwls stacked up their 3rd win in the North Shore Conference as they out-touched the Nicolet Knights in a home meet in front of a loud an energetic Parents' Night crowd.
Following a 2nd place in the 200 Medley Relay (Staton, Worman, DeBack, Michalak), Cory Maxwell and Logan DeBack tied the team score with a 1st & 2nd in the 200 Free. And that was with Logan (fresh from racing the Medley) coming from behind to overtake Nicolet's Kellman in the last 75. After Santiago Cloud and Jeromy Lofy dominated the 200 IM, with another 1st & 2nd win, and new best times, Hartford-Slinger never looked back.
First place for the rest of the meet belonged to the OriOwls. Santiago with another first in the 100 Butterfly (and Logan in 3rd). Jordan with 1st in the 50 Free and 100 Free. Quinn Worman beat out Nicolet's Zaydman to bring in 2nd for the 100 Free. He then led the 100 Breaststroke from beginning to end, to take 1st, while Zach Michalak brought in 3rd. Cory earned another 1st in the 500 Free and Jeromy captured the 100 Backstroke. The Fast Four (Cloud, Christnovich, Lofy, Maxwell) dominated both the 200 and 400 Free Relays to wrap up the night.
In a Conference that was well represented at State last year, the OriOwls are now making their mark with a 3-1 record with 3 conference match ups yet to go.
