Congratulations to the 2021 Worth County High School STAR Student, Samantha Foerster, and STAR Teacher, Mr. Josh Miller!

Every year, a STAR student from each high school in Georgia is selected. To obtain the STAR nomination, high school seniors must have the highest score on any single test date of the SAT taken through the November test date of their senior year and be in the top 10 percent or top 10 students of their class based on grade point average. Nominees' SAT scores must be equal to or be higher than the concorded mean scores on the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and Math sections. Each high school STAR Student is asked to name his/her STAR Teacher.

We are so proud of you, Samantha!  This is quite an accomplishment.  Mr. Miller, thank you for the work you do day in and day out for our students.  It is clearly evident to more than just your administration and colleagues.  Well done to both of you! #RamPride

Students in Mrs. Ochie’s Talent and Development classes participated in groups to design a poster depicting a circle of control and a circle of no control. This project helped students realize they cannot control everything that happens in their life, but they can control how they respond to those things. This assignment also encouraged students to stop worrying about things they can’t control and focus on areas in life they can control. Winners were chosen for each block and given Ram bucks to spend at the PBIS store. Congratulations to the following winners! 

WCHS received a $15,000 grant from Monsanto to explore the practical use of black soldier flies for our local farmers.  Students from Environmental Science, Agriculture, Chemistry, and Algebra classes are working together to create habitats to house black soldier fly larvae in order to study their use on the farm.  The cross-curricular study is examining the life cycle and sustainable properties of these flies as they break down animal waste in a chicken coop and ultimately become a high protein, nutrient-dense food source for livestock.  Through the course of this experience, students will analyze data such as temperature, weight, protein, and fat in an effort to determine the practical use of these flies for our local farmers.  We are excited to see the far-reaching impacts of this study on our local community, and are grateful for the support of our stakeholders and partners, such as The Critter Depot who are generously donating the larvae for our study.

Students in Mrs. Smith’s Physics class participated in an experiment called the "Egg Drop Challenge" on Thursday, January 28, 2021. Students crafted cardboard boxes lined with various "cushioning agents" ranging from drinking straws, yarn, rice, sponges, balloons, marshmallows, and even "slings" suspended by rubber bands inside their boxes. They then delivered their "boxes" that were carefully constructed to the third-floor balcony with a height of 40 feet. They timed the “fall” from the scissor lift with their electronic timing devices as the boxes were dropped one by one. The amount of time for the fall allowed the students to calculate the final velocity of the egg on impact and determine the amount of force the egg experienced during this collision. The end result was hopefully to have an intact egg after the fall....let’s just say some eggs were not as lucky as others. The students enjoyed the experiment while utilizing the concept of Physics at the same time.
