The 2022-23 Dow High National Art Honor Society has completed the Foreign Language mural that has been in production for 5 years! The executive board of Jacob Nguyen, Raegan Woodiwiss, Clara Allington, and Paige Dolph were integral in helping motivate the club members to complete the project. It features landmarks and celebrations from various cultures as well as "WELCOME" in ten different languages, including American Sign Language. It is installed in the Art Department above art room 355. Great work everyone!

Woodcrest Second Graders Explore PLTW-Properties of Matter
The second graders in Ms. Staley's and Ms. Waltz's class became "Young Inventors." Using the Engineering Design Process in our PLTW (Properties of Matter), students collaborated to put together their own "coolers" to keep the "Ice Pops" frozen for the duration of one hour. The students worked very hard in their collaborative teams with their supplies of bubble wrap, egg cartons, cardboard, paper, aluminum foil, tape, etc. It was a great hands-on experience to encourage students to develop the knowledge and skills they need to thrive and succeed. The students had a great time sharing and explaining the process they used to create their "coolers"!
February is National Career and Technical Education (CTE) Month! Did you know that Midland Public Schools offers many different CTE programs that prepare students for various high-demand, high-wage careers?
This week, we highlight the Construction Trades Program
MPS courses offered in Construction Trades:
- Woodworking
- Introduction to Trades
- Building Trades
Featured Students:
Grayson Moore, Junior, and Lindsey Campbell, Senior; MHS
When asked how the Construction Trades program has made an impact on their education, Grayson and Lindsey responded:
“Building trades really opens you up to thinking about what you might want to do. So if you do want to go into some building after high school, building trades would probably be the best option. So, I was thinking electrical, but this opened me up to all the other trades that are on the table.”- Grayson Moore
“I really like it because I get to do a lot of hands-on work, and that’s just my favorite thing in the entire world. Just building things, and it’s what I always done since I was really little. I really like this program because I get to do a lot, and I get to learn a lot about houses.” - Lindsey Campbell
Thanks, Grayson and Lindsey, keep up the great work!
For more information about the Construction Trades program, contact instructor Kevin Dodick (dodickkr@midlandps.org) or your assigned high school counselor.
