Our agriscience foundations classes started learning about poultry production this week. One of the topics covered was egg quality and grading. Students had the opportunity to candle eggs in class on Wednesday and Thursday.
Candling is the process of using light to help determine the quality of an egg. Our foundations students used the USDA's Official Egg Air Cell Gauge to determine the size of the air cell in the egg and the interior grade of the egg.

Our chorus class recently visited the University of West Florida to participate in a preparatory workshop prior to their MPA. Dr. Peter Steenblik, Director of Choral Activities at UWF, provided this feedback regarding the visit:
"They sang with musicality, pliability, and beauty. It is clear that Mr. Moore is providing solid methods and pedagogy along with a positive environment. The students love the music and each other. I am sincerely appreciative of your support for WHS chorus."
The dedication and work ethic of these students and Mr. Moore epitomize what it is to be a Brave, and we're so proud of them!

They also visited the offices of our senator and representative to speak about the FFA organization and the importance of FFA members for the future of agriculture. Events like today are essential for the future of agriculture!

As anatomy & physiology students learn names of some of the human skeletal muscles, they also learn about their actions, origins, and insertions. Students worked individually or with partners to attach in correct position a pre-selected set of four “muscles” to a skeleton while also indicating which end of the muscle was the origin and which was the insertion.

Congratulations to Mrs. Warren and Mrs. Burnham on being the first two recipients of the WON-ONE award!
At the beginning of the 2023-2024 school year, Superintendent A. Russell Hughes unveiled a challenge to all employees of the District, and he calls it “WON-ONE”…the challenge was to find that ONE student struggling and WIN them to change the trajectory of their lives. You may hear him ask “Have you won-one?” Which is asking if you’ve WON that ONE student - the #WON-ONE award is among the highest honors in the District.
