In Ms. Baloo's 7th-grade science class, students got hands-on with microscopes to explore red (purple) onion cells!
Students carefully peeled a thin layer of the onion, placed it on a microscope slide, added water, and covered it with a coverslip. They then observed the onion cells under the microscope and discovered a whole new world of tiny structures!
The investigation continued! Students added salt water to their onion samples and observed how the cells changed in response to their environment. This gave them an opportunity to investigate osmosis and how water moves across the cell membrane.
Students connected their observations to hypotonic, hypertonic, and turgid as they explored how water movement affects plant cells.
Science comes alive when students can observe, investigate, and discover for themselves!

From an Idea to Reality!
Last spring, our HJHS Student Council members presented an idea to our school board: they wanted a new sound system for the junior high gym! Not only did they share their vision, but they were also willing to contribute money to help make it happen.
Today, that idea became a reality! The installation of our new gym sound system is complete!
This is what student leadership, initiative, and teamwork look like. Our students saw a need, developed a plan, spoke up, and helped make a positive difference for their school.
A huge thank you to our HUSD IT Department and Maintenance Department for their work in making this happen, our supportive school system for helping bring this project to life, and especially our HJHS Student Council members for believing in their idea and following through.
We also want to recognize and thank our Student Council sponsors, Alicia Jimenez and Adicia Paschal.

🌟 Celebrating Native American Heritage Month! 🌟
This evening, we were honored to welcome Aariyanna Keesonnie, former Miss Northern Navajo 2023–2024, who shared a wonderful presentation about the Navajo Kinaalda'.
The Kinaalda' is a sacred Navajo coming-of-age ceremony that celebrates a young woman's transition into adulthood. It was a wonderful opportunity for our students and families to learn more about this important tradition and its cultural significance.
A special thank you to all the families who came out and brought their children to participate. Your support and involvement help keep our traditions, culture, and teachings alive for the next generation.
Thank you to Hulet Elementary School for hosting this event, Indian Education Committee for sponsoring it, Bernice Gover, HUSD Director of Indian Education, for welcoming our families, directing parents to the library, and taking care of the cleanup after the event.
What a beautiful way to celebrate and honor Native American Heritage Month! ❤️

Fueling the future of engineering, one test run at a time!
Our Industrial Arts students have been diving headfirst into the world of aerodynamics—exploring how drag, downforce, and airflow impact speed and performance. But we don't just stop at the theory.
Students took their knowledge straight to the workshop, applying precision design and woodworking to craft custom CO2 dragsters. The ultimate test? High-speed class period races to see whose car dominates the track!
Thank you Mr. Salley!
