  The one who nominated Christiana Williams to be student of the month was Ms. Chittick and she had this to say about her, “Christiana is always very helpful in class. She works hard on her classwork and does not hesitate to help out other students who are struggling. Christiana has been a joy to teach this year and I expect her to do amazing things with her future.”

  What type of activities do you do? Basketball and that is about it. What are some of your favorite electives? Band, I used to play clarinet but I play the drums now. What are some activities you do outside of school? I go to church and play the drums at church and also sing there. What is some advice that you can give to students regarding school pride. Respect the teachers and other students. What are some positive things you could do to spread pride or just help people in general? If someone were to drop their books help them to pick them up. What is one of your favorite classes. Mr Robinson, Mrs Chittick and PE.

These fellow band members made it to Regionals after attending district. Back from their journey, they obtained new knowledge to help them become better at what they do best (trumpet and oboe). Of course, they spent hours of dedication and practice to get where they are. Continue reading Band Regionals with Jacob Carlstrom and Madeline McMickle →

  Njrotc is a class about patriotism for the country, and the main focus is the Navy and Marines. Lots of students who join this class join to prepare for joining the armed forces, although it is not a requirement to join if you’re in Rotc. Like the military, cadets rank up. This week is all about ranking up, and cadets do this through a course of tests including the Pft, Academic Test, and Uniform Inspections.

  The PFT stands for Physical Fitness Test. This test starts out with push ups. There are two minutes of pushups, and to get certain ribbons there is a required amount of pushups to do. If someone just wants to rank up then they are only required to participate. The next part of this test is sit ups. There is only two minutes of both of these tests, and the cadets are supposed to do as many sit ups or push ups as they can within that time. Then there is the mile run, which is four laps around the grass field next to the parking lot. All cadets can pass this part of the test as long as they participate.

  Next there is the academic test, which, obviously, tests academics. Depending on what the cadet is planning on ranking up to, the tests can be simple or hard. The first rank is a seaman recruit, moving up to a seaman apprentice. This test is simple, asking for basic drill movements and orders to the sentry. The next movement is from a Seaman Apprentice to a Seaman. This is a test that includes some more drill movements, orders to the sentry, and chain of command. The final rank was from a Seaman to a chief petty officer 3rd class, which included ranks in the marines and the navy. Finally, there was a uniform inspection. At our school, you’ll see students wearing uniforms, and for this advancement, people were being graded on their uniforms. To conclude, to rank up, cadets must pass all of these tests.

  Yesterday, the AAA Trojan Baseball team travelled to Russell County, Alabama to face the Russell County Warriors.

  The Trojans got out to an early 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning, but the Warriors quickly tied the game in the bottom of the first. The game was tied 1-1 until the top of the third, when the Trojans scored another run on a sac fly by Jeffrey Bryan.

  The Trojans held the Warriors in the bottom of the third and Cooper Ray knocked in another run in the top of the fourth to make it 3-1 Trojans. The Trojans would later go on to score 3 more runs, and the Warriors only scored 3, which gave the Trojans the 6-3 victory.

  Catch AAA back in action this Saturday at Chiles High School in Crawfordville, Florida.
