Needville High School

AP Env. Science kiddos made observations and designed their own experiments to test their hypothesis as to what natural causes make a Fortune Fish move. They then performed their experiment to either prove or disprove that hypothesis.

The Student Council is excited to welcome everyone back for a brand-new school year! To kick things off and celebrate the start of the year together, we will be having a HOWDY Dress Up Week. Each day will have a fun theme, giving everyone a chance to show off their school spirit and creativity. We encourage all students and staff to join in and make this week one to remember!

Kelsey Chumchal and Sophia Zeitz were named to the all/tournament team!
