Freshmen in Mr. Trent's Pre-AP Biology class participated in an Evolution lab this week testing the beaks of different bird species.

DelDOT Bridge Design Competition
Conrad Engineering students, accompanied by teacher Mr. Canfield, traveled to Polytech High School for the Bridge Design Competition. This event is a hands-on engineering competition aimed to engage students interested in the math, science, and engineering fields. The program is designed to encourage middle school and high school students to address real-world problems and inspire them to consider careers in transportation and civil engineering. Students were assigned a specific bridge type and tasked to prepare a research-based proposal, design and detail drawings using Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD) software, create a balsa wood bridge model, and develop and present a PowerPoint presentation. The balsa wood bridge model was also tested on the day of the competition.
We love our parent groups!
