Congratulations to Mr. Paquet's Senior Visual Presentation students who showcased their Polar Express (in gingerbread) themed windows at the Holiday Window Showcase event Tuesday night. What an incredible celebration of talent!!!


Cracking under pressure? Not these physicists! 🥚🚀
Today in Physics, our students at HSFI channeled their inner engineers for the Holiday Egg Drop Challenge! 🎄🕎✨ Students didn’t just decorate their eggs with festive holiday themes—they used serious science to keep them from becoming "scrambled."
Armed with the principles of Impulse and Momentum, they designed containers to maximize air resistance and manage gravitational potential energy from a 2.5m drop! 📏💥
The results? Most didn't make it to the "Nice List," but we had 2 groups survive the plunge! 🏆 The best part? Tomorrow we dive into the Success Skill: Constructive Problem Solving. Students will evaluate what worked, analyze the "cracks" in their designs, and revise for the future. 🛠️🧠
Science isn't just about getting it right the first time—it’s about learning from the impact!
Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy Kwanzaa from HSFI Physics! ❄️✨

Ocean Acidification Lab
Featuring the Marine Science class. In this investigation, students explored how increased carbon dioxide changes ocean chemistry. They compare three cups: neutral water, water with CO₂ gently blown in, and vinegar as a model of a highly acidic ocean. By observing pH differences and the effects on materials like shells, students see how rising CO₂ levels can lower ocean pH and impact marine life.

Keeping it rational… one fraction at a time!
Students in Ms. Granstrand and Ms. Garcia’s Algebra 2 class know it’s important to stand up for math! In class, they used vertical whiteboards to solve rational equations.

Senior Photo majors had a busy week– they were photographing headshots for a magazine, learning to digitize film photography, and photographing school sports teams for the 2026 yearbook!

9th Grade Foundation Studio - hand sewing practice, à la embroidery stitches.
Creativity always wins. Mr. Torres 9th. graders locked in the pin cushion hand sewing practice. They also branded their creations as O.C., a.k.a., Original Characters!

Math notes open, needles clicking 🧶✨ Knitting is full of counting, patterns, and problem-solving, so she’s basically doing double the homework at once—and making it look easy!”🧶➕📐✨Only in #knittingclub #CountingStitches #problemsolvers #studyingandstitching

Our girls in the Black & Latina Empowerment Club engaged in conversations about the ways they feel they are represented in society and things that can be done to change the narrative from negative to positive whenever possible.
