SPHS FFA members along with BJH and Pope members had a fantastic experience at the NEMCC Livestock Judging Clinic on December 6 in Booneville.
The day featured engaging speakers, including livestock judges and the President of Northeast Mississippi Community College, who shared valuable insights and his own personal experience in the agricultural industry.
Students also had the chance to judge classes of cattle, hogs, lambs, and goats, gaining hands-on experience that they thoroughly enjoyed. This was a great opportunity to build skills and confidence in livestock evaluation.

In the final 2 weeks of this fall semester, our Principles of Agriscience class had an exciting hands-on project! Students learned key welding safety skills and used a MIG welder to create stunning metal roses from raw materials.
They carefully bent metal washers and cut rods to shape, welding each washer as a petal to form a beautiful flower. After completing the welding, students added their personal touch by painting the flowers in the colors of their choice.
These unique, handcrafted metal flowers were then taken home as a symbol of their hard work and creativity!

Using their 3-D printing skills, students in Computer Science and Engineering completed a semester exam by selecting an adult at the high school and designing a thoughtful Christmas ornament. We delivered the ornaments personally to the selected adults this week.
Some of these students were exempt and were not required to complete the exam but chose to participate.
Students in the Career Technical Education classes of Computer Science and Engineering completed their last unit on Robotics. They were challenged to design a Robotic Insect to withstand a set of harsh environmental elements. As you can see, they rose to the challenge and created phenomenal Robotic Insects!
A big thank you to Dr. Bright and the entire staff for giving Mrs. Shultice and Ms. Payne's Health Science Clinical students the opportunity to explore the various roles, diagnostic equipment, and treatments used in an optometry clinic! Your knowledge and support are greatly appreciated!

Students enjoyed a fun coding game using different colored leaves they had collected. They were challenged to move through a maze individually by changing only 1 line of code attached to a particular color of leaf. Then, they worked in groups by problem solving which code to change to successfully complete the maze. These students are in the Career Technical classes of Ms. Davis. They are currently enrolled in Computer Science and Engineering.
Before Thanksgiving break, the Computer Science/Engineering and Exploring Computer Science classes of Ms. Davis and Mrs. Darby were visited by Sean Ennis from the Water Valley Coding Academy located in Water Valley, MS. He explained the completely free 10-month coding program available to high school graduates. Mr. Ennis provided some history of how the facility developed from a dream of a Water Valley resident to train 18-year-old graduates to provide a much-needed coding workforce in Mississippi. This program accepts 45 attendees each year and teaches over 8 coding languages along with interviewing and problem-solving skills. Additionally, the coding academy attendees earn 45 hours of college credit from Northwest Community College. Graduates can join the workforce earning over $50,000 per year or choose to finish their associate’s degree with only 1 additional semester of college. If you have any questions about the application process, please contact Ms. Davis at cdavis@spanola.net.
We want to extend a huge thank you to Dunlap and Kyle for their generous donation to the SPH band! Your support means the world to us and helps us continue to create music, grow as musicians, and bring joy to our community.
