Redesign...

After watching that riveting 18th debate I'm sure you're wondering what's next for this great country of ours. 

A redesign of this blog/site!!!

I know, I know just when you thought it couldn't get any better. From now on, general announcements will be posted on this page. If you're looking for specific class or club information just click on the links at the top of this page. 

Happy surfing.

Possible Participation...

On January 30 the POTUS will be hanging out on Google+ and taking questions about the State of the Union. State of the Union will occur on the 24th at 7pm Mountain Standard Time, followed by the Republican response from John Cornyn.




Speaking of Google: Google 4 Doodle could earn you 30K, that's right $30,000 for college. Or a free trip to NYC and a t-shirt.

And the Debates Continue.... tonight 1/23/12 on NBC will be the 1millionth, err 17th/18th (?) GOP Debate.

New Info!

To help keep you more informed about upcoming due dates and club events there's been a link added. On the left side of the page, under "Helpful Links", just click on "EHS Event Calendar". Here you can check due dates for upcoming assignments and events for Chess, Sci-Fi and Magic Clubs.

This week the students in the ACE class will be giving presentations on Friday to the 9th and 10th grade Gifted Classes. These students have been dedicated to their mentorships and have some important information to share.

All Contemporary Issues classes will be having their Week in Review 2.2 this week.

The Written Component for the College Project is due this Friday the 27th!

Have a great week :)
