High School of Health Sciences

12 HS^2 students competed in the Aerospace Jam Drone Competition today! Mrs. Basthemer took three teams of students to the Baird Center to compete with their drones they've been working on throughout the school year. The three teams placed 5th, 9th, and 12th overall in the competition after a day full of test flights, modifications, and troubleshooting! Students learned a lot through the whole process, and are already talking about plans for next year's competition!

Mr. Van Dyke and Mrs. Basthemer traveled to Magee Elementary today with some HS^2 students to present at Science Day with chemistry and physics sessions!

Save the date! The HS^2 Senior Celebration will be on May 27, 2026 in the High School Prism Arts Center!

Some more Green Day fun before Break! Some students walked to Mama D's, and some played kickball!

AP Physics students investigated dynamic fluids with a lab. Students graphed their data collected in order to determine the speed of the water as it left the container.

HS^2 students had a lot of fun during some choice Green Day sessions! Including a cooking session!

Before break, Mrs. Basthemer also took 6 students to Science Day at Wales Elementary to learn about the physics of illusion. Students learned about the persistence of vision and made thaumatropes!

Before break, Mr. Van Dyke took two students to Wales Science Day to introduce the Elementary students to Chemistry! Students were able to see many demonstrations and then make slime!

AP Exams are only 1 MONTH AWAY!

Students should be finishing any performance tasks that need to be submitted by April 30, 2026 for AP Seminar, AP Research, and AP Computer Science Principles.

All students should be preparing and studying for the final AP Exam that will happen between May 4 and May 15!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Spring Break!

We hope you enjoy the show and we apologize for any disturbance the noise may cause.

Scientific Sketching is a new HS^2 Fine Arts course this year! Students have sketched 2D and 3D objects, made infographics on insects, created fish postal stamps, and much more!

Getting ready for the final pieces of their AP Performance Tasks, the HS^2 AP Seminar class spent time giving each other feedback!

The Forensic Science class did another blood lab where they looked at blood splatter at different velocities!

The HS^2 Forensic Science class has moved into their blood unit! The start of all sorts of super fun blood labs has begun!

Back when we had a nice weather break, the HS^2 Biology students went outside to draw body systems out of chalk!
