Students in Mr. Craig’s Ag Power class have completed a utility trailer project this week for Greg Sherbert. Mr. Sherbert provided all the necessary materials to build the 7x12 utility trailer.

It features a 5,200 lb axle and treated lumber floor. Many thanks to the Sherberts for providing students with this learning opportunity! #Celebrate379

Mrs. Hughes' Spanish students have been working on house vocabulary and making comparisons. Last week, a group of native speakers from the community were invited in to describe a house they wanted built. Students "architects" then created and presented a design and argued why it was better than their classmates' designs. #Celebrate379







Last week, students in Mr. Colle's US History classes practiced their research, communication, and argumentation skills through a "Fishbowl" discussion. Students researched one of the Gilded Age's leading industrialists, such as Andrew Carnegie or John D. Rockefeller, and argued whether they should be remembered as a "Robber Baron" or a "Captain of Industry." Then, they had a small group discussion while the rest of the class took notes and asked questions to learn more about labor conflicts in the late 1800s. #Celebrate379

Miss TenClay is a new social studies teacher at CCCHS with a unique cultural background. Today, she hosted "Culture Day" in her classes. Each student brought something that showcased their family's culture. The goal was to show that although many students look similar, we all come from different backgrounds that deserve respect. Miss TenClay was wearing official Cameroon garb, where she taught for many years. #Celebrate379
Mr. Colle is a new social studies teacher at CCCHS. Yesterday, his students researched George Mortimer Pullman, an American industrialist who manufactured luxury railroad sleeping cars.
He also developed Pullman, Illinois, as a company town for his workers. In 1894, wage cuts and high rents helped trigger the Pullman Strike, a major event in U.S. labor history. The strike eventually involved federal troops and contributed to the creation of Labor Day as a federal holiday. Students debated who was right or wrong in the conflict. #Celebrate379
