A big thank you to Dr. Odom from North Mississippi West Point Children’s Clinic for speaking with our Health Science students today! She shared her journey to becoming a pediatrician and gave insight into what a typical day in her career looks like. Students also got hands-on experience using Eko stethoscopes to listen to each other’s heartbeats. These advanced tools detect even faint sounds and display ECG rhythms—an exciting opportunity for our future healthcare professionals!

👩🍳✨ First Day in the Kitchen! ✨
Houston CTE Culinary Arts I students spent their very first day in the kitchen putting skills into action! From practicing accurate measuring to mastering basic cutting techniques, students got a taste of what it takes to be successful in the culinary world.
These hands-on lessons are the foundation every great chef needs—teaching precision, safety, and confidence in the kitchen. We can’t wait to see how their skills grow throughout the year!

Congratulations to Mrs. Rooker on being the winner of the gift basket presented by the National Council of Negro Women-Okolona Section.
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.
