Thanks to all those who came out to the community Pep Rally!
PALS toured NMS yesterday and NES today in preparation for meeting their PALees next week!
🔬🌿 Honors Biology in action! Today, students in Mrs. Erfurdt’s Honors Biology classes put their microscope skills to work as they examined Elodea plant cells and prepared wet mounts of their own cheek cells! Students compared plant and animal cells firsthand while observing the structures that make each type of cell unique!

Learning Through Hands-On Science!
Our Aquatic Science students in Mrs. Muniz’s classes got hands-on with a colorful Walking Water activity! Students observed how water travels through paper towels while reviewing important concepts like cohesion, adhesion, and capillary action. We then connected these concepts to the real world by discussing how water moves through and impacts aquatic environments and ecosystems. Science is always more fun when we can see it happen right in front of us! 🌊🌈
Lady Jays in action vs Harmony!
Practicum in Floral Design student Brielle Bontemps constructed a Texas mum for the school Bluejay!
Honors Biology students in Mrs. Erfurdt’s class are getting hands-on with one of the most important tools in biology - the microscope! Students are learning proper microscope techniques while examining prepared slides and creating their own wet mounts. From focusing and adjusting magnification to carefully preparing and observing, students are building the skills they’ll use throughout the year to explore the microscopic world!

Homecoming week is here!! Check out the pic for daily themes! Go Blue Jays!
Getting set for kickoff in Santa Fe!
NHS team tennis defeated El Campo 15-4 yesterday afternoon!
From 1776 text to 21st-century theory! 🇺🇸 For their first major AP Gov project, Mrs. Hajdik’s students created Blackout Poetry directly from the Declaration of Independence. Their goal: isolate key words from the original text to illustrate foundational Unit 1 ideas. They created some amazing projects!
🔬 Biology in action! 🧬
This week in Mrs. Korenek’s, Mrs. Collin’s & Mrs. Muniz’s classrooms, our Biology students got to take their learning from the textbook to the microscope!
Students practiced using microscopes while observing Elodea plant cells and their own cheek cells. They were able to see firsthand that cells aren’t just something we read about—they’re all around us! 🌱🧫
From setting up slides and focusing their microscopes to identifying cell structures and making observations, our students were busy being scientists! 🧪🔬
We love seeing those “WHOA, I can actually see a cell!” moments happen in the classroom. 💙
Here’s a peek at what our Biology students have been up to! 📸✨

Thanks to NHS Student Council for the treats today!
Students in Mrs. Erfurdt, Mrs. Collins, and Mrs. Muniz’s aquatic science classes used the unique properties of water, such as cohesion and adhesion, to move a water droplet through a laminated maze! Learning in action! 💧
Learning from the leaders! Principles of Law students explored the careers and contributions of law enforcement leaders through an engaging gallery walk activity.
Learning, creating, and giving back! Our Child Advocacy Club members are learning to use looms to make handmade beanies for children.
JV football vs Santa Fe this Thursday evening!
Students in Mrs. Erfurdt, Mrs. Collins, and Mrs. Muniz’s aquatic science classes explored the diverse world of aquatic science careers through a gallery walk. They shared their research, learned about careers from their classmates, and discovered many opportunities in the aquatic science field. My favorite response from the students? Hearing that they used to think these careers required advanced degrees and years of school and training, but now realize that there are aquatic science careers accessible for everyone! What an awesome takeaway! 🐟💙
Yesterday marked the triumphant return of the Chess Club at NHS! Created by students, this club welcomes all challengers. Any students interested in joining should visit Mrs. Rivera's room (D201) on Wednesdays from 4-5pm.
