Congratulations to all!
These students, along with 308 other high school
juniors from 112 different public, private and home-school organizations across
WA State, are taking part in the seventh year of the WAS program, which is a
free, competitive STEM program for WA State high school juniors. WAS is
affiliated with NASA Johnson Space Center’s National High School Aerospace
Scholars program and has partner programs in Texas, Virginia and Idaho. Its
primary goal is to excite and prepare students to pursue careers pathways in
STEM fields using a distance learning curriculum developed in partnership with
NASA and the University of Washington.
Over the next five months, these Phase One students
will complete online academic coursework in order to qualify for one of 160
Summer Residency session slots. To qualify for the Summer Residency, students
must satisfactorily complete ten online lessons, consisting of research essays,
space-related math problems, and detailed graphics that illustrate their ideas.
WAS participants also have the option to receive five University of Washington credits in Space and Space Travel
(ESS 102) upon on their successful completion of the online WAS curriculum.
This course will satisfy the Natural World area of knowledge requirement for
graduation from the University of Washington.
Students who qualify for the Summer Residency will
be hosted in either June or July for six-days at The Museum of Flight in
Seattle. During the Summer Residency they will be guided by professional
engineers, scientists, university students and certified educators as they collaborate
with other student participants to design of a human mission to Mars. They will
also take tours of engineering facilities and laboratories, complete team
engineering challenges, and meet leaders in STEM fields.
We are proud of our RAHS and WAS Scholars! Sophomores, start thinking of this
opportunity for next year! Applications will be available in late Spring.
Congratulations to our ASB for planning a spirited week of learning and fun last week,
leading up to Tolo on Saturday
evening. I declare last week’s assembly
THE BEST SPIRIT ASSEMBLY EVER! And, I
can easily declare Tolo the best ever in our new facility! :- ) Great job, everyone, of showing your Phoenix
spirit! Special thanks to chaperones Mr.
Kelly, Ms. Fitz, Ms. Carper, Mr. & Mrs. Hiranaka, Mr. McComb, Dr. &
Mrs. Katims, and Ms. Weeks
This semester, we are again offering Private Pilot Ground School; in fact,
there are two sections being offered during 5th and 6th
periods. Please welcome Ms. Holly Branch, who will facilitate
both sections. Ms. Branch attended both
Central WA University and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University before becoming
a commercial pilot for an airline and an instructor for Alaska Airlines. She brings a breadth and depth of knowledge
and skill that will provide richness in the curriculum that will highly benefit
students. Ms. Branch’s classes will be
offered in Rooms 2320 and 2380, so if you are passing by, please give her a
Phoenix welcome.
We have another Eagle Scout among us! Hearty congratulations to Rocco Buty, who probably wouldn’t seek
recognition but certainly deserves it.
Adding “Eagle Scout” to one’s resume is always a positive addition! If
we have other scouts in our community who have also earned their Eagle rank, please
let me know. You all deserve
recognition!
As first semester came to a close last week and we
enjoyed the ASB-planned spirit days, it was obvious that many of you didn’t get
the opportunity to dress in spirit attire because it was finals week, which required
you to “suit up and show up” as business professionals. I observed students presenting their learning
to industry experts in a number of settings—a Literary Café for Ms. Cook’s ninth grade Aviation English classes, at
the Museum of Flight for Mr. Joshi’s Flight by Design students, and in the PLC
for Mr. Sarver’s ninth grade Aviation Careers classes. Some of the questions asked by the experts
were nothing short of “tough”, especially for ninth graders without the benefit
of advanced coursework, mentoring and internship experiences. Mr. Kelly and I surmised that the questions
were asked, though, because it was hard to believe that the presenters were 14
and 15-year olds! RAHS scholars—you
rocked it! You stood tall and confident
and left no doubt whatsoever that you were well prepared. You proved you could solve authentic problems
and defend your learning to the experts.
Congratulations!
As we begin this new semester, know that I am proud
of each and every one of you. Continue
to give it your all throughout second semester as you build your college-going
transcript. Honored to be your
principal—
Reba G.

Highline Schools Community
Meetings: Highline’s
student population is growing for the first time in over a decade. This
growth presents some challenges and we need your input on a solution. We
are now out of classroom space in elementary schools and have no room for
growth. The state is offering additional funding to lower class sizes for
K-3 next year. If we are unable to create classroom space, we may have to
turn down as much as $2.2 million in state funding. We also have a number
of schools that are 50 to 90 years old and in need of major repairs or
replacement. We are working on solutions and want to get community
feedback. Please join us at a community meeting to learn about potential
solutions and share your feedback:

The
Native Student Success Forum
Wednesday,
January 29th, 2014 from 6-8pm at ERAC’s Main Boardroom
At
this forum we’ll be discussing the development of The Plan for Native Student
Success, a bold new strategic plan closely aligned with the goals of our
district-wide Four Year Strategic Plan and specific to supporting the academic
needs of American Indian/Alaska Native students.
Superintendent
Enfield will do a share-out of the Native community engagement input process
conducted in the spring, discussing how it was incorporated in the Four Year
Strategic Plan and next steps for implementation. The sole intention of the Plan for Native
Student Success is to close the opportunity gap of our American Indian/Alaska
Native students in Highline Public Schools, across all grades and content areas,
underscoring our district-wide commitment to access and equity, and
dramatically increasing American Indian/Alaska Native student success. All families of Native Students,
administration, support staff, teachers, and counselors of Native students are
invited to attend. Dinner and childcare
will be provided.

Previous NOTAM
Announcements – but still Relevant
Flight
Design Competition:
The General Aviation
Manufacturers Association and Build a Plane are sponsoring a nationwide aircraft design competition
for high school students. The winning team of students will build a Glasair
Sportsman in two weeks.
The competition is intended to promote science,
technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education in high schools. Teams will
use specialized curricula that include flight simulation software to modify the
design of a Glasair Sportsman that seats four adults while flying a specific
mission profile. Their entries will compete in a virtual fly-off and will be
scored on aerodynamic and performance parameters.
The winning team, plus a teacher and a chaperone, will
travel to Glasair Aviation headquarters in Arlington, Wash., June 16 to 28 to
assemble a Sportsman using Glasair’s Two Weeks to Taxi program.
Schools can register for the competition now through Feb.
14 to receive the Fly to Learn curricula and software. Entries are due by April
30, and the winner will be announced May 8. To register and get more
information, go to http://www.aopa.org/News-and-Video/All-News/2014/January/07/gama-build-a-plane-contest.aspx.
