Alumnus Jorge Chong poses in front of the Orion spacecraft used in NASAs Artemis I mission, the first phase in the Artemis programs plan to land the first astronauts on the moon in over 50 years. Chong is one of the engineers responsible for the next groundbreaking lunar mission. “I began becoming very interested in aerospace in high school and started becoming passionate about it then,” Chong said. “I honestly thought I would work in the aeronautics sector, working with aircraft and airplanes. I didnt anticipate working with spacecraft or working in the space world at all. So that was kind of unexpected, but thats where the doors ended up opening, and it became something that I really love.” (Photo Courtesy of Jorge Chong)

UIL Academics, a largely student-run program where competitors of varying academic interests compete for  awards, poses for a photo after the Jan. 14 Burnet practice invitational. From Computer Science to Social Studies, Literary Criticism to Journalism and Current Events, there’s something for everyone. “Of course, the competitions have a lot of weight attached to them,” senior and captain of the UIL Current Events team Kaci Craddock said. “But I try to remind myself that at the end of the day, its a fun extracurricular activity. I think it’s very challenging, but also extremely rewarding.”

Posing in front of the French flag, new French teacher Naomi Campbell is the newest teacher in the department and sponsor of the French Honor Society.  While being a small community of just under 100 students, the language is connected by passionate students both in the class and in FHS, as well as being an equally important language to learn. “Its the third most spoken language in the world, Campbell said. “Its used in business a lot of the time. So its very useful for international commerce. And its an official language of the UN. Its the official language of the Olympics.”

Welcoming NHS members at their monthly meeting, seniors Jackson Woods and Ashley Chikkala help provide a welcoming community for the school through service projects. “To me, NHS is a lot about the service opportunities that you are able to get from it,” Chikkala said. “Because its not that difficult to have a super high GPA, if you just take the right classes and do the right things. But its difficult to make sure that you are getting those grades, along with still being involved in extracurriculars and helping your community and working and just generally being a good person.”

More Than an Honor Society
