The Astronomy students made a scale model of the solar system spanning the SHDHS campus.  The Sun was scaled down to the size of a softball, and most of the planets were then so small that they were barely visible.  Linked here is a video with drone footage to show this project in action.

CRUSADER OF THE WEEK 

Mrs. Heinrich nominates Senior Cameron Darnell for Crusader of the Week for Chorus.

"Cameron is a wonderful student who is new to choir this year. Being the only boy in a class of female singers is a challenge, but he takes it like a champ. Although singing is a vulnerable practice, Cameron takes it seriously and does his best at every rehearsal. When asked to sing one-on-one with Mrs. Heinrich, he did so with grace and maturity. Cameron is a great example of what it means to be a Crusader, and I could not be more proud to be his teacher!"

Ms. Cruz nominates Sophomore Andrew Stewart for Crusader of the Week for ASL 1.

"Andrew always comes to the 7th bell with a positive can-do attitude! He's helpful towards others, and if you ask him for a favor, he says yes with a smile. Andrew is a great addition to class."

The Carrie Williams Memorial Foundation was founded in 2022 by Carrie's family, with the mission of assisting students in financial need at local Catholic schools. Education was Carrie's passion, and this was evident in the love she poured into her students. This scholarship helps her passion live on.
