Students in Mrs. Ramsey’s Biology class seeing their teacher as she livestreams from home this morning. Learning carries on during the pandemic thanks to our innovative students and staff.
It’s spirit week! Tomorrow we are “MAD ABOUT PLAID” so break out your plaid and flannel so you can grab a treat and help your class win some competitions!
One of our students, Paul, was waiting in the office before heading home today. While waiting, he was able to follow along on Google Meets with his Geometry teacher, Mr. Joel Hawkins, who was teaching in-person and live-streaming to remote learners. Pretty fantastic.
Hawkins, who starting teaching at Highland in 1985, probably never dreamed he would instruct this way. In ‘85, he was likely using an overhead projector and chalk.
Our teachers and students continue to adapt during the pandemic in many ways and we are so proud of them.
Although it’s not been perfect during the pandemic and we continue to face challenges, our teachers, students, school, and community continue to step up.
