While some scholars couldn’t help shouting “EEEEK!” or “GROSS!” everyone in biology loved to get the chance to dissect cow eyeballs!

Led by Dr. Farkas – one of High Jump’s longest-serving teachers – scholars got to dig in and study the anatomical makeup of these cow eyes and compare what they saw to diagrams of the human eye. It was a truly eye-opening experience!

Don't Lose Your Marbles

High Jump scholars explored Physics by working in teams to design, build, and test marble roller coasters.

After all the experimenting, scholars judged each other’s work based on design, functionality, theme, and overall wow factor. 

Cool Summer Treats

Hot days call for ice-cool treats!

High Jump scholars got to choose their ice cream truck favorites to celebrate the first week of the summer session. We also treated students and teachers to ice cream and brownies to celebrate the midway point of the summer.

Music to Our Ears

Equipped with keyboards and headphones, scholars got to sharpen their ears and engage with their love of music in this new elective!

Each scholar worked on sheet music reading skills and practiced scales while competing against each other in some friendly games. When we visited, they were perfecting Hot Cross Buns, but their renditions of Moonlight Sonata aren’t far off!

Tacos and Churros, and Games, Oh My!

High Jump's Summer Picnic was a blast!

Students, teachers, and staff enjoyed tacos and churros, played lawn games, painted their faces, and had an all-around good time to celebrate the summer session's end and reward all their hard work.
