Mrs. Bibby's Business Law I students participated in mock interviews last week. The purpose of mock interviews is to give students the necessary tools they need to lead their dream job. One student stated, "I am very thankful for your feedback to me and for helping me be prepared for future interviews." Another student stated, "I really do learn better when I can see for myself how something works or actually goes."
Thank you to Lorraine Bibby (retired DHS supervisor), Joyce Martindale (EHS CTE teacher), and Vincent Dawson (SAAC health sciences advising coach) who worked with Mrs. Bibby to interview students.
What an amazing lesson in life skills, Mrs. Bibby!
Members of ASLI participated in the Great American Clean Up last Saturday. They met at Old City Park and worked in the community to pick up trash and help keep El Dorado beautiful! Great work, ASLI!

Mrs. Marlin's Chemistry students completed a lab where they boiled water and added salt to discover how the boiling point changes. Students had to weigh out salt properly and carefully pour into boiling water. Students used this information to explain inter molecular forces between the water and the salt. Very neat, Mrs. Marlin!
Learning a foreign language doesn’t have to be boring! Check out Ms. Allender’s Spanish I students playing "Simon dice" (Simon says). They used the game to help them practice parts of the body in Spanish. Buen trabajo!

Students in Ms. Lindquist's Biology classes studied the properties of water last week. They completed a lab were they studied water properties at different stations- cohesion, high heat of vaporization, density, universal solvent, and capillary action. Cool lab, Science Cats!
Congrats to the EHS Golf Teams!
They swept Crossett at Mystic Creek yesterday! The Boys scored 266 over Crossett's 348, and the Girls scored 313 over Crossett's 360.
Preston Howard continues steady scoring with an 82 to claim another medalist honors. Aaron Ezell carded an 89, Saxon Morgan 95, Brendan Jones 96, Baylor Blackburn 108, John Hollis 103, Landen Rainwater 114.
Hope Walthall and Aubrey Marx tied for medalist at 99 in the girls match. Alexa Hulsey 115, Lani Hammock 117, Sydney Marx 119.
Mystic Creek is one of the toughest courses the golf team plays, and some of the scores are coming down each time they play there. Next up is Lake Hamilton at the Glenwood Golf course on Thursday.
Ms. Cathy Thompson, Product Manager with First Orion Corp in Little Rock, AR spoke to Survey of Business students recently. Ms. Thompson gave an overview of her job with First Orion Corp and discussed the many types of scams and the ease of identity theft in the technology world today. What an interesting speaker, Ms. Owens!
PreAP Bio students from Mrs. Rankin's class explored pH last week. All these Science Cats are staying busy with super engaging labs and hands-on learning! Way to go, Mrs. Rankin!
Check out Algebra I students as they participated in a Scavenger Hunt Review for their unit test over Number Classification, Properties of Numbers, Translations, and Equations! What a fun and engaging way to review, Ms. Adams!
While we are waiting on the final results from the EHS Cross Country meet this morning, we wanted to share a special moment that happened during the meet.
One of the 7th grade athletes, Zachary McMillon, went down with a knee injury at the beginning of the junior boys race. Senior JD Halstead saw what was going on and went to check on McMillon. When Halstead realized McMillon could not put any weight on his knee, Halstead took it upon himself to carry McMillion to the EHS tent for treatment.
And that, Wildcat Nation, is the true spirit of being a Wildcat. Thank you, JD and Zachary, for reminding us what being a student athlete is all about: leadership, sportsmanship, and friendship!

PreAP Bio is at it again! This time, they are preparing a serial dilution of an acid and measuring the pH. These scholars can't get enough of Mrs. Parker's fun and engaging science labs!
Mrs. Moon's seniors had their initial meeting with the College and Career Coaches to backwards plan their future. April Malone, one of the EHS College and Career Coaches, created a central webpage for all of their senior year planning. They will meet several times throughout the year to allow students to monitor their progress toward success. What a wonderful experience for our seniors!
WILDCAT FAN OF THE WEEK
This week, we are honoring Tony Hooks! Just two and a half weeks after undergoing triple bypass surgery, Mr. Hooks made it to the top of the stadium to his regular seat near the press box to watch his son Cameron in the opening Wildcat game of the season last week. Mr. Hooks stayed the entire game.
Mr. Hooks attends football games every week unless he's working, then he listens on the radio. He loves his family and the Wildcats, but his dedication to supporting his son shines the most!
We are proud to call you a Wildcat fan, Mr. Hooks! Thanks for supporting the Wildcats!
