In an atmosphere of celebration, students heading out to compete in the SOMO State Indoor Games at St. Joseph received a sendoff of high fives and cheers from their peers!

Measuring 7 feet, 6 inches, this intestine was the winner in a competition among anatomy students studying the digestive system to see which fetal pig dissection resulted in the longest intestine. 

By comparison, the average human small intestine measures over 20 feet.

Career and Technical Education (CTE), formerly known as Vo-Tech, gives students real-world, hands-on experience in a variety of employment fields. Students, parents and guardians, business leaders, school counselors and other educators are being asked about their general perceptions of CTE programs. Please click on the photo above and complete the survey by April 12. Thank you!

Over the course of the last few months, CHS Book Club members have been passing around the novel Five Feet Apart by Rachael Lippincott, reading it in preparation to see the new movie of the same title. On Thursday, March 21, the book was brought to life for them on the big screen at Poplar Bluff AMC Theater. Lunch and a quick tour of the Poplar Bluff Public Library followed the show.

Book Club members going on the trip to see the movie Five Feet Apart should check in with their first hour teachers and then meet in the lobby.
