Congratulations to our first Class of 2024 High School Graduate!
We held a ceremony for cadet Major Samuel Harrison on Thursday, May 17, 2024 in the High School Library. Samuel is departing for boot camp at Parris Island in SC to earn the title of United States Marine. Since he was going to miss his high school graduation, we were honored to send him on his way with his HS diploma. We thank Samuel and all of our graduating seniors going into the military, for their service.
Haverhill High School CVTE Sophomores and Juniors in the Information Technology and Computer Science & Web Development programs had the rare opportunity to tour the Boston Dynamics lab in Waltham. Students also toured their robot museum and had a demonstration of Spot! Thank you Boston Dynamics for providing our students with this amazing learning opportunity. For more information about HHS CTE work-based learning experiences, contact List Hunt at lhunt@haverhill-ps.org.
The CTE Biomedical Science Freshmen had a blast with grad students from MIT last week. They learned about biochemistry and industrial manufacturing as well as biomimicry in scientific research. The students learned all about polymers and were able to make their own nylon thread. They also learned the difference between fluorescence and phosphorescence and did some experiments with UV light and glow sticks. They discussed the chemical properties of liquid nitrogen and learned about lab safety. They also discussed what real world research is like. They are super excited for chemistry next year! A big thank you to MIT for coming out to visit with our students. It was a great experience!
