Walking students through an in-class rat dissection lab, Anatomy and Physiology teacher Tyler Terry helps them connect rat anatomy to a human’s. Terry also teaches Medical Microbiology, Practicum in Health Science: Pharmacy Technician and is the HOSA sponsor. He expects district-proposed budget cuts to negatively impact class sizes in the coming school years. “It’s going to be a real challenge to try to reduce the number of teachers and squeeze the same number of students into fewer classes,” Terry said. “Classroom management is going to become more difficult for teachers, and students are probably going to feel even more cramped. It’s really hard to give individual one-on-one attention to every student who needs it when the class gets that big.” Photo by Allie Tseng

The team will face Barbers Hill Friday to attempt to make it back to the State Championship for the first time since 2001. “There’s nothing we can’t do together,” Koltz said. “If I make a mistake it’s not like ‘oh do this better’ it’s more like ‘hey, we got this, we can stick together’ and we’re working for each other. Not a single person wanted this goal by themselves, we’re all with each other and we’re just a big perfect family.” Photo by Alyssa Fox

It was a very very tight race, [so] I was a bit surprised [that I medaled].

After the completion of the Parks and Trails Foundation logo, representatives visited the T-Wolf Agency to provide thanks for all the work done. “I know how beneficial it is to be able to work with clients,” Murray said. “We had a previous executive editor come back and tell us how good of an opportunity it is to have this agency here especially if you want to go into graphic design after high school. The people she’s in classes with didn’t have any access to the things we do here and there's only one other LISD school that has a class like this. It’s just a really good opportunity to get real world experience especially when we get to work with people outside the school. It’s just so real to get that experience with actual clientele and how things really work in the industry.” Photo by Paige Hert

At the State UIL Academics competition on May 25, junior Lindsey Buggi wins second place in the headline writing competition. "When I found out I was in the top six I was aggressively excited and could not stop shaking," Buggi said. "I was so pumped when I found out I had won second place and get a medal bigger then my fist. "

The Locker Project is currently planning events at which one could donate items to the cause, but no dates have been solidly set as of right now. The goal of the Locker is to bring needed supplies to students that may not have access to them. “It feels like we can make a difference in our school and community- it feels like we’re a part of something bigger,” junior Cindy Orr said. “I love the idea of helping people in a way that makes them feel comfortable and maintains as much dignity and normalcy as we can.”
