ECHS precalculus students took their learning outside to apply their skills at using triangles to find the height of objects such as the gyms and the flagpole.
They also had a little fun experimenting with how high they could make a rocket launch, measuring the angle using clinometers and calculating the height of the rocket using measurements and triangles.

Congratulations to the 2024 homecoming King Caleb Hudlin!
200 first year floral design students in Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Zahn’s classes constructed a 19 foot mega mum in honor of homecoming week. A special thanks to the Ag Mech students for cutting the 4ft plywood circle to make the top, the Derby Dolls for the pom poms, and Mr. Jeff Balcar and crew for getting it hung in the gym and then moving it to the football field for the game. It truly was a team effort and we have the best RICEBIRD team! Come see it in person on Friday at the 8:30 am pep rally! And, see behind the scene here: https://www.canva.com/design/DAGR3ajI7os/pS4I1Pw6_bafdIx-KrGRSA/watch?utm_content=DAGR3ajI7os&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=editor
First year floral design students have been working hard and having fun learning the steps of making homecoming mums. It involved lots of measuring, cutting, hot gluing, and learning a variety of braids. It takes about 7 days in class to complete all the steps. Check them out!
