Anatomy students had the chance to make life size models to help represent the 11 different body systems. This life size project gives students the opportunity to research conditions associate with each body system. Students then were able to share out with their peers in a gallery walk style presentation.

6. Capstone Award Spotlight
|
Congratulations to Josephine Bohannon who was one of two students last year to earn the AP Capstone Diploma award. To earn this students must earn scores of 3 or higher in AP Seminar and AP Research and on four additional AP Exams.
AP Capstone is a College Board diploma program that's based on two yearlong AP courses: AP Seminar and AP Research. The program provides student-centered learning while incorporating performance-based assessments. Both courses prepare students for college and career success through the development of critical thinking, academic research, collaboration, presentation, and time management skills.
This is an outstanding achievement and congratulations on all of your hard work!
