Our CCP students recently took part in a hands-on lab focused on fish anatomy. They learned how to filet fish and completed a dissection activity, identifying internal anatomy. This lesson gave them a closer look at structure and function through real-world application!

Big congratulations to Howland High School student Vincent Weeks 👏

Vincent earned a national award from the Office of Naval Research for his project studying how temperature affects golf ball compression.

For his project, he tested three different brands of Callaway golf balls. After letting the balls sit in various temperatures for three hours, he applied 200 pounds of force to measure how they reacted. His findings showed that temperature plays a key role in performance. Higher compression golf balls tended to perform better in colder temperatures, while lower compression balls were better suited for warmer conditions.

Science + real-world application = pretty impressive work… and now there’s no excuse for a bad golf score ⛳️📊

The Howland band traveled to Tennessee and visited RCA Studio B in Nashville, where students participated in a recording session in a professional studio setting. Opened in 1957 and known as the “Home of 1,000 Hits,” Studio B played a key role in shaping the Nashville Sound and expanding the reach of country music. Artists including Elvis Presley and Dolly Parton recorded there. Today, the studio is preserved as part of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum and offers guided tours, giving students the opportunity to record in the same space where many well-known songs were produced.
