✨ Highlighting Innovative Learning in Health Science Education ✨
Students in Kaycee Martin’s Health Science Education class at #CommunityHighSchool recently welcomed two special guest speakers from UT Southern, Dr. Gennifer Moon and Dr. Karen Ferguson. These guests were particularly meaningful to Mrs. Martin, as they previously served as her nursing professors during her own training.💜💛
During their visit, the presenters guided #students through the evolution of public health, sharing a timeline of significant milestones and key historical developments. Students also engaged in a guided web exploration to learn more about major disease outbreaks that have shaped public health practices across the world.🌍🔍
As representatives of UT Southern, they also brought UT Southern-branded items for all students to enjoy.
We want to send a #ThankYou to UT Southern and the guest speakers for providing valuable real-world insight and enhancing our students’ learning experiences. 🫶

✨ Student Voice Matters! ✨
This week, the Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council visited the Central Office for an energizing conversation with Superintendent Dr. Tammy Garrett, Assistant Superintendent Tim Harwell and Director of Communications Carol Garrette.
These incredible #student leaders shared honest insights and bold ideas on issues that directly impact their school experiences such as:
📈 Attendance incentives to help boost daily attendance
📵 How potential cell phone bans would affect students and what supports they’d need
💰 Funding priorities from a student perspective
👗 Dress code feedback and ways to make it fair and inclusive
Their commitment to improving our schools is inspiring, and their voices play a vital role in shaping decisions that affect #students across the district. 💬 We’re proud of their leadership, perspective and passion for positive change!
