The highlight of my internship has been learning new things. After high school, I plan to attend Kansas State University and major in computer engineering.”
Check out the newest piece of instructional technology at CCCHS! Affectionately named “The Magic School Bus”, the Teaching as a Career classes’ Meta Quest 3 has been in action this week! Students have explored the value of incorporating virtual reality into engaging lessons, as seen here with CRISPR gene editing to eradicate diseases such as Sickle Cell Anemia. The students have truly become the masters by showing their old teacher (Mrs. Affolter) some new tricks with VR! #Celebrate379

Mr. Craig's Applied Ag class wrapped up their unit on bovine reproduction, which covered various body systems, reproductive system anatomy, the phases of the estrous cycle, and the endocrinology responsible for reproduction. The students completed the unit with a practicum assessment hosted by Mark and Amanda Jameson (Roth Farms), which required them to implement two estrous synchronization protocols in two treatment groups of cattle. Students learned how to safely handle vaccines, administer vaccines, insert CIDRS, and apply ear tags. The students were successful and brought all six cows into standing estrus.

Thank you to the Jameson and Roth families for their partnership in getting students hands-on experience! #Celebrate379

Alec Jefferies says, "“I have worked at The Clay Center Locker Plant for the past 4 months. I run the retail area, package food, keep freezers and coolers stocked, and notify customers when their orders are ready. My favorite part of the job is the people I get to work with and the environment that has been created there.

There is more to Algebra than just getting the right answer — it’s about learning how to think through problems step by step.

In Mrs. Schooley's class, students are building those skills by working through rational expressions using a “factor, slide, divide (bottoms up)” approach. By breaking problems into parts, identifying common factors, and understanding why certain values don’t work, students are gaining confidence and precision in their math. #celebrate379

Students in a high school algebra classroom are working at their desks on problems involving rational expressions. The teacher is guiding them through a step-by-step method that includes factoring expressions, identifying common factors, and simplifying by dividing. Students are writing on paper and focusing on their work as they practice the process and check for values that cannot be used in the denominator.
