Hunter's Highlights

Another great week at Ardmore High School has passed. We actually went an entire week without a weather event altering the schedule. Our 9th graders toured the Tech. School to help them make decisions in the pre-registering process. Pre-registration is a very important time for our students and we hope everyone will take time to sit down and discuss their future plans carefully.

Our physics students have been very busy this week as well. The physics students are investigating projectile motion and their task has been to design and build an air cannon, determine the influence of the launch angle on the flight of a projectile, then calculate the precise angle and muzzle velocity needed to hit a target. This is a very good learning activity for our students and we know they had a good time doing it.

Our middle school students are having a great experience and enjoying a new challenge as Mrs. Katheryn Newton teaches Archery during P.E. Classes! She says, "Archery is so much fun! All of the kids can participate and have fun plus success at the same time! This is a life long sport, which we are teaching 6th-8th graders, that puts everybody on equal ground. A 6th grade student could compete with a 12th grade student. Archery is a sport were you don't have to be the best athlete but have the willingness to succeed and develop the skills to be a competitor in archery.

Our basketball teams are finishing strong in their pursuit for post season play. Our boys and girls have advanced to the finals of the Area Tournament which ensures them moving to the next level. Believe it or not, spring sports are underway and have begun practicing in spite of the weather.
