Dear Adult’s Formal Name:
I thank you for helping me become the person I have become today. You have pushed me to work hard
in football as well as school. You have also shown me what is necessary to succeed on the field and off.
Sometimes I don’t show appreciation for your teaching, but that doesn’t mean that I am not one
hundred percent grateful for the tools you have given me to do incredible things.
I only hope to be as great of a man as you are, and I will tell others of what means to be a good man. I’ll
bring you up during that conversation, and tell others the kind of inspiration you have given me. I
believe you have been one of the most influential people in my high school life, and I won’t forget what
you have taught me.
All in all I have listened closely to your teachings and decided to accept what I have been taught and
apply it to my life. Knowing what I have learned will benefit me in the near future I am sure of that. I
thank you again for the effort you have put forth in the lessons that have affected me in a positive way,
and will always hold in my mind what you have taught me.

HOSA club.
I remember when HOSA club started on this campus.
I wasn’t as sure as Alex was about starting a club. All
those responsibilities and duties and how do we start
a club? It was Alex that came to me several times to
encourage me to be the HOSA advisor and get the
club started. She finally talked me into it and so we
started our new club October 2006 with a
membership of approximately 40 members. She was
always keeping the club organized and on track. Alex
was always full of ideas to improve our club. Again, I
remember when she came to me about a website for
the club. I was not ready to tackle that challenge. I
told her we have a link on the Central High School
site where we can put a website but I was way too
slow for Alex. She got us a free website for the
members this year and it has proven to be a great
communication tool for our members and officers.

Volume 1 Issue 1
A number of years ago, high schools offered business classes, homemaking
classes, and vocational classes. Oh, how times have
changed! With change comes more opportunities.
The purpose of this letter is to help provide
information to help everyone better understand our
classes and all the opportunities it has to offer.
And the Future...Achieve Texas!
Welcome to AchieveTexas which is a new education initiative designed to prepare students for a lifetime of
success. It allows students to achieve excellence by preparing them for secondary and post secondary
opportunities, career preparation and advancement, meaningful work, and active citizenship.
AchieveTexas is designed to help students (and their parents) make wise education choices. It is based on
the belief that the curriculum of the 21st century should combine rigorous academics with relevant career
education. When schools integrate academic and technical education, students can see the “usefulness” of
what they are learning. The system also facilitates a seamless transition from secondary to postsecondary
opportunities.
The initiative uses the sixteen federally defined Career Clusters of the States’ Career Clusters initiative
(www.careerclusters.org) as the foundation for reconstructing how schools arrange their instructional
programs. A Career of Cluster is a grouping of occupations and broad industries based on commonalties.
The sixteen Career Clusters provide an organizing tool for schools, small learning communities, academic,
and magnet schools. Career programs of study (POS) have been developed for each of the Career
Clusters. The POS represent a recommended sequence of coursework based on a student’s interest or
career goal.

Splat-A Science Experiment
PUBLISHED BY MRS. SMITH’S THIRD PERIOD SCIENCE CLASS
The Hypothesis
W
e believe that the yolks of
uncooked, unbroken eggs
dropped
from
different
heights will
have
different
diameters
of splatter.
Particularly we believe that the
higher the drop point, the larger the
diameter of yolk splatter will be.
The Experiment

7.
Drop egg 1-1 from height 1.
Measure diameter of yolk splatter.
Drop egg 1-2 from height 1.
Measure diameter of yolk splatter.
Repeat for eggs 1-3, 1-4, and 1-5.
Drop egg 2-1 from height 2.
Repeat with eggs 2-2, 2-3, 2-4, and
2-5.
8. Drop egg 3-1 from height 3.
9. Repeat with eggs 3-2, 3-3, 3-4, and
3-5.

The Results
Our hypothesis was incorrect. There
was very little difference in the
diameter of yolk splatter despite the
different heights. We believe this is
due to gravity.
We also believe that if the drop
heights were significantly
different there might be a
difference in the yolk splatter
diameters. For example, an egg
dropped from one mile up would
have a greater diameter yolk
splatter than an egg dropped
from one meter.
