| National Honor Society |
On December 15, nineteen HSAT students were initiated into the Jaguar Chapter of the National Honor Society. In order to qualify for nomination to NHS, students had to have a 3.0 or higher GPA. Students were then required to submit an application, an essay, and two teacher recommendations. A faculty council of five teachers then determined membership. Initiates and their parents were invited to the initiation ceremony at HSAT. At the ceremony each initiate was recognized with a certificate and a membership pin by Mrs.Koc and Ms.Blandford. As members, students are required to participate in a school or community wide service project and to complete 10 individual service hours.
HSAT would like to congratulate the following students on becoming members of the National Honor Society: Athena Ramm, Tori Franklin, Marissa Muniz, Steven Hoy, Karon Hill, Israel Douglas, Aldo Ibarra Perez, Timothy Brown Jr., Johana Sanchez, Jewel Kemp, Shy'Asia Wallace, Anastasia Harris, Austin Hendrix, Tiarra Stallings, Dustin Stockton, Gulsu Eldek, Keniya Brooks and Hayden Champnoise

| Engineering a Bridge |
|
Mrs. Leininger's middle school Engineering students learned how bridges are designed to meet load, stress, and aesthetic challenges. After researching bridges and their structures, students worked in teams to design and build a bridge out of popsicle sticks. Teams tested their bridge, evaluated their own results and those of other students, and presented their findings to the class.
Almost all of the bridges built with held the 5 pound weight goal given to the students. Destruction day is yet to come. Mrs. Leininger and the students are excited to see what teams bridge will be able to bear the most weight!

You remember them; those old announcements over the P.A. system. They were screechy, too-loud, and boring. This year at HSAT, we're trying something new and different to spread the word about our
pawesome school and students.
The Jaguar Student News is a our video announcements which informs students, staff and faculty of the most up-to-date news and activities. The best part, it features our wonderful students.
Mr. McClellan, high school English teacher, is leading the charge, and we appreciate his expertise assisting the students in preparing, filming, and editing these news features. "It's been great getting to know so many of our students through this exciting and fun activity," says Mr. McClellan as he prepares his tablet (which serves as a teleprompters for the student newscasters).
