Congratulations HOSA Student - Chris Bishop!


Last week, Chris Bishop and Dustin Lyles, along with their sponsor Martha Giddens, attended the Texas State Health Occupations Students of America’s Leadership conference in Houston, Texas. They both were competitors in the Kaiser Permanente Health Care Issues Exam after winning at the area competition in February hosted by Richardson ISD.

Chris’s performance on the test was outstanding and earned the right to compete in Orlando, Florida at the National Convention this June. In addition to competition, he will be able to attend a leadership academy that will enable him to transition easier into college and the world of work.

Congratulations to Chris for being the first student from Hughes Springs ISD to attend competition at this level in HOSA. When you see him, please offer him a congratulations and good luck!

Physics Human-Powered Vehicle Race 2010








Mrs. Alison Preuniger's Physics class competed in a Human-Powered Vehicle Race on Tuesday, April 13th. The objective of the project is to design and build a human powered vehicle. This gives the students experience with applied physics problems.

Each six weeks during the year they have had to design and build something that had a particular function and follows guidelines that she gives them (size, materials used, budget, etc).

The human powered vehicle is their final, ultimate, full size project of the year. Most of their class work involves learning terms and using mathematical formulas. The projects allow them to apply their physics knowledge to a “real” problem.

The students did a great job - check out the pictures!!!!
