Student Council

Planning the sweetheart dance, wolf games and participating in community service, student council has been more than busy planning activities for the student body. Including the planning of the movie night in the PAC showing Avengers that took place on Dec.14, as well as participating in a community service project called Christmas Bureau, which provides holiday assistance to low-income residents of Johnson County. Other activities planned by student council include winter and spring sports assemblies, all homecoming events and various activities throughout the school. Senior class stuco representative Paige McKinzie advises students to speak up and take an active role. “We hope that the student body enjoys the activities we have planned thus far, and if they have specific ideas they should  talk to a representative or a sponsor.” McKinzie said.

AP CA IV

The senior AP CA IV classes taught by Marilyn Brewer decided take a new approach to the novel The Stranger. The novel features an existentialist man from Algeria who gets drawn into a superfluous murder. In each class, the students were assigned to write their own scripts and to create scenes in which they would collaborate and act out as a class. Brewer’s idea for the play caused students to step outside of their comfort zones and learn about leadership. “Honor students are really good at taking order and listening,” Brewer said. “However, this project forces the students to step outside their comfort zone, take leadership and collaborate with others. I am excited to see who emerges as a leader, and to see what the students have created.” The plays took place Dec. 12 and 13 in both the PAC and Blackbox.
