For today's #SchoolSiteHighlight we are highlighting Hesperia High's Fishing Club. The club was established four years ago, and its main goal is to expose kids to the outdoors and Fishing. The hope is that these students will unplug from technology and garner a sincere appreciation for nature. The club has grown every year, and this year is the largest membership that they have had. The club travels to local lakes, such as Mojave Narrows, Silverwood, Big Bear, and Lake Gregory, just to name a few. All snacks, fishing fees, and transportation are covered by the club.

For today's #SchoolSiteHighlight we are headed to Mojave High School who has launched a brand new elective this year to help engage students in the classroom as part of a robust plan to add more engaging elective offerings. The Computer Animated Design (CAD) course, taught by Kyle McHugh, teaches students how to design and then print their own 2D and 3D objects. This course focuses on 3D modeling, animation, and related digital tools, and offers numerous educational, developmental, and practical benefits in today's digital landscape.
Senior Sye Hughes said "Being able to make a key chain because I like the art part of it. I like that I can make what I want, and just print it in class. I like learning how to print things, and the basics of 3d printing."
Animation courses captivate teenagers who grew up with animated films, video games, and visual media. Studies show dynamic visualizations like 3D animations improve student attention, comprehension, and retention compared to static methods, especially in complex subjects.

Hope heads out the day after Christmas! Let’s show her some love as she prepares to represent Sultana and HUSD on the world stage!
