Chickasaw County School District - Learners Today. Leaders Tomorrow.

HUES wants to thank Mrs. Chelsea L Harmon for having perfect attendance in the month of September. You work hard for your students every day and it is very appreciated!

Mrs. Burt’s art students at HUES created colorful hot air balloons as part of a fun, hands-on project. They learned about how hot and cold air molecules move and change from Mrs. Alford. After designing and assembling their balloons, each group tested their creation to see how high it could fly. The students were excited to watch their hard work take off and loved seeing whose balloon soared the highest. This project was especially meaningful because Mrs. Burt did this same activity years ago when she was a student in Mrs. Alford’s 6th grade science class.

Happy Maroon Friday from HUES!

Mrs. Griffin and Mrs. Myatt’s first-year Health Science students took their Infection Awareness & Prevention unit beyond the textbook this week! Students swabbed a variety of surfaces around campus—from doorknobs and desks to water fountains and keyboards—to test for bacteria growth.

Over the next several days, they’ll observe and record their results, learning how bacteria spreads in everyday environments and why proper hygiene and sanitation practices are so important in healthcare.
