🎓 The Central 10th Grade Class Visits UNI! 💜💛

Our sophomores had the opportunity to experience life at a four-year state university during their visit to the University of Northern Iowa! Students learned about the admissions process, explored academic programs, and got a feel for student life through a presentation from the admissions department, a student panel, a campus tour, and lunch at the Piazza Dining Hall.

This visit is part of our District Career and Academic Plan (DCAP), which helps students explore future career and education paths as they begin to plan for life after high school.

✈️Ms. Schmeling's Statistics class explored how the type of paper used to make a paper airplane affects how far it flies. They created three paper airplanes — one from printer paper, one from cardstock, and one from construction paper — using a basic folding design.

Through this experiment, students learned how data in the real-world often follows a normal distribution, and how understanding mean, variation, and consistency can help explain real-world performance — even something as fun as flying paper airplanes!

Food Science Students Put Learning Into Action!
This semester, Food Science students have been exploring the units of operation through hands-on food processing activities. As a capstone to the unit, Mr. Reinhart joined the class to demonstrate how to process pork butt into breakfast sausage links. Students reflected on each stage of the process, connecting it to what they’ve learned in class, and then enjoyed tasting the final product — a delicious reward for their hard work and learning! 👩‍🔬👨‍🍳🌭
