Today, second graders had an exciting hands-on experience connecting with the myth of Demeter and Persephone! Students tasted pomegranate seeds, which symbolize Persephone’s connection to the Underworld and the changing of the seasons. This activity not only made the myth more tangible but also sparked meaningful discussions about choices and their consequences.

HES showed our spirit all Homecoming Week!
The Spark! PK-12 Engineering Education Outreach program from Texas A&M University engaged our GT students in an inspiring, hands-on lesson about engineering and robotics this week. Students learned about the different fields of engineering offered at universities and about programming (coding) robots. Students had a blast when they were able to apply their knowledge and write code for their own robot, Ozzy!
