Build Your Future Event

A small group of students from Forbush High School and Starmount High School were selected to attend the "Build Your Future Day" on Friday, November 21st at Surry Community College. The event was hosted by Surry-Yadkin Works. Students participated in a hands-on demonstration with SCC instructors, and they were able to create their own product in Carpentry, Machining, or Welding. 

Forbush students: Chloe Dickens, Dakota Estes, Elvis Mendez, Joshua White

Starmount students: Andrew Aguilar-Catalan, Adrian Carapia-Santillan, Luis De La Fuente Perez, Ethan Hodge

It was a great event! Thank you, Surry-Yadkin Works, for having us on campus today!

Happy CDC Day!

Animals Science Students Dissect Fetal Pigs

Animal Science II students in Mr. Allen’s class at SHS enjoy their unit on fetal pigs. Dissection of the fetal pig allows students to see each body system and the corresponding organs in three dimensions.  The students can also see first-hand how the body systems are connected. 

Dissection is also a very hands-on way of learning about body systems and anatomy, as opposed to reading a textbook or going through a PowerPoint.

SHS HOSA Assists with Vision Screenings

Starmount HOSA students assisted school nurses in performing vision screenings. Students took a certification class with Prevent Blindness to learn to perform screenings and assisted with vision screenings at BES, JES, WYES, and Starmount Middle.
