WORLD QUEST CHAMPIONS!
FINE ARTISTS ACCOMPLISH GREAT HONORS 2006 Commonwealth Diploma Earners 2007 Governors Scholars
2006 Governor’s School for the Arts!
Stephanie Wallenfelsz auditioned and was invited to
attend the prestigious Governor School for the Arts. The school will be
conducted on the Transylvania University campus in Lexington, Kentucky. While there, students will live in a supportive learning
environment and study with a group of distinguished teaching artists. They will
also have the opportunity to auction for scholarships before the nation’s top
colleges and universities. This year, over 1400 high school
sophomores and juniors from Kentucky auditioned at four regional sites across
the state. From this number, 218 were invited to attend Kentucky’s premier
summer arts program. Stephanie’s field of discipline is drama. ![]() Hillary Otte, 2006, and Amanda Bockweg, 2009, have pioneered the effort to start a new student
group on campus this year called the St. Maria Goretti Society. It is a student
support group focused on promoting chastity. May 2006 will be the date for their first
newsletter publication, "Real Love
Waits". It features all kinds of information including student
articles, information about chastity in general, books to read, websites to
visit, a "Comeback Corner" that features examples of things you can say when
someone is coming on too strong, and contact information if you are looking for
someone to talk to right away. "This is definitely something we need here at
SHDHS. Many of our students don’t really know what chastity is, and they don’t
know the reasons why it is a good decision," says Hillary. Mandy agrees, "I
watch friends and classmates struggle with relationships all the time. We need
a support group for students to go to for help and information." 2006 members
of the St. Maria Goretti Society are: Lindsey Gough, Jessica Green, Sarah
Kloentrup, Katie Janowiecki, Alexa Hasbrouck, Liz Kaiser, Jessica Montjoy, Julia
Wright, Michi Steffen, Erinn Torbeck, Sam Yung, Kelsey Limbach, Bethany Haacke,
Sam Mustian and Sean Connolly. Faculty Advisors are Maureen Donnellan, Gina
Ruehl, Ann Maloney, Pamela Kammerer, Jennifer Zumbiel, and Eric Neuhaus. |
Computer Science at SHDHS The media has been reporting that large numbers of Information Technology and software development positions are being outsourced to other countries. This is contrary to recent reports indicating that software-engineering positions in the U.S. are expected to grow by 49% during the next ten years. At the university level the number of students pursuing studies in Computer Science are dropping. Attrition rates are high in introductory computer Science courses, and NKU has instituted a peer-tutoring program in which upper-class Computer Science students are paid to mentor and tutor beginning programming students in an effort to improve retention and attract more students. There is growing concern in the industry about these trends – where will employers find the qualified computer professionals they need here in the US? SHDHS is one of a small number of high schools that offers its students to opportunity to experience a formal Computer Science course. Although it is rare that students enter college with formal training in computer science, SHDHS actually offers student the opportunity to study up to TWO years of Computer Science. First year students study the C++ programming language. C++ covers material offered in a one-semester college level course, but at a pace more suitable to high school students. C++ has been offered at SHDHS since 1998 and many students who have studied C++ at SHDHS have gone on to study and excel in college-level programming classes. Second year students study the JAVA programming language. Java was first offered at SHDHS during the 2004-2005 school year. At this time the official AP Computer Science language was changed from C++ to Java. In 2004 and 2005 ten students at SHDHS earned a 3 or better on the AP Computer Science A Test, earning college credit for their work as high school students. The College Board, administrator of the AP curriculum, recently released state-by-state results for 2005. Statewide in Kentucky 84 students received a 3 or better on the AP Computer Science A Test, with only 20 of those students coming from non-public schools. Six of those 20 students were from SHDHS. There are still spaces available in Computer Science at SHDHS for the upcoming school year. Enrollment does require recommendation from a student’s Geometry or Algebra 2 teacher.
