STEM Education Engagement in Career & Technical Education
November 8, 2014 the Macon County Public School System will engage student’s skills and technical abilities in the 5th Annual Wiregrass BEST Robotics Competition. Each year we have experienced more student interest in this advancing STEM initiative. Students from all of our career and technical education programs are sharing their skills and interest towards this project. We are pleased with the learning outcome of these students as they continue to demonstrate proficiency in applied technology. Many of the students on the Robotics Team are dual enrollment students with Trenholm State Technical College where they are working towards their Associates Degree in a STEM discipline. We could not be more pleased with our students and their learning outcomes. Please look for continued academic advancements as we develop and explore greater college and career ready readiness programs and competitions. At this time we would like to thank AFCEA – Montgomery Chapter for their continued assistance towards supporting Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics in public education.
Superior Ratings for a Superior Choir
Booker T. Washington High School “Golden Voices”
Olander Robinson, Choir Director
The BTW High School "Golden Voices" Choir participated in the Alabama National Fair's Choral Festival on yesterday, October 6, 2014. I am super proud to let you know that the students earned a rating of SUPERIOR, which is the highest rating that can be achieved. There were twenty-one choirs from around the state that participated. We also had the honor of being chosen to perform last evening during the awards ceremony, where only six choirs were granted this opportunity.
Aside from performing and listening critically to other choirs, the students had a blast enjoying the rides, games, and food (especially their teacher) of the fair.
If you should see the students of BTW walking around the school looking up at the ceiling, nothing's wrong with the ceiling, they are just displaying that EAGLE PRIDE.
Students, Faculty and Staff at Booker T. Washington High School raised over $312.00 in one day to support Bridges Center for Women in Tuskegee by hosting an Ice Bucket Challenge.
The Aministration Staff, including Principal Nelson, Vice-principal Williams, the Dean of Students, the Head Football Coach and the Counselors were challenged to be baptized in ice cold water.
Everything went off with the usual screaming, yelling and dancing around in ice cold water (except for Coach Heard, who was over-heard asking for "more ice water").
At the end, a check for $312.00 was presented to the Director of Bridges. Bridges is a part of Teens Empowerment Awareness with Resolutions group.
