11th Grade Honors English students reenacted the courtroom scene from To Kill a Mockingbird as part of their study of the novel. The students took on roles such as Atticus Finch, Tom Robinson, and Mayella Ewell, bringing the trial to life in front of their classmates. The reenactment allowed students to explore the novel's themes of racial injustice and moral courage through performance, offering a deeper understanding of the story’s significance.

Southern Columbia High School's Art Club embarked on a creative journey to produce a collaborative piece of art that showcased both individuality and teamwork. Under the guidance of club advisor Mrs. Roulin, the students worked together to divide a large picture of a colorful tiger into 20 equal squares, with each member being responsible for recreating their assigned section. As the students finished their pieces and assembled the squares, they were amazed by the final result. What began as a fragmented collection of different approaches came together to form a unified, vibrant tiger. This creative display can be seen hanging outside the high school art room.

On Monday, students in Ms. Atkinson’s Honors Anatomy and Physiology class had the unique opportunity to visit Lock Haven University and tour their cadaver lab. After touring the campus, the students learned about the intricacies of the respiratory system, gaining a deeper understanding of its anatomy and functions. They also had the chance to study muscles and closely examine the human body’s structure, further enhancing their knowledge of human biology. The visit provided an engaging, hands-on experience, offering students a glimpse into college-level anatomy studies and a deeper appreciation for the complexity of the human body.

Thank you.
Recently, students in Mrs. Brown’s 5th and 6th Grade art classes brought their creativity to life by designing 8-pointed stars that showcased radial symmetry. Not only did the students enjoy the artistic challenge, but they also honed their measuring skills throughout the process. To guide them, Mrs. Brown used a large wooden ruler—gifted to her by Mr. Rarig, the technical education teacher—as a visual tool to teach the students about measuring in inches and quarter inches. This project was a fantastic example of how the art and technical education departments can collaborate to enrich students' learning experiences.
