MMHS Eagle HighFLIGHTS:

1 MMHS Eagle HighFLIGHTS: *CTE Teacher of the Year: We would like to congratulate one of our FACS teachers, Kathryn Crandall, who was awarded the Utah Association Career and Technology Education (UACTE) Teacher of the Year from the Work-based Learning division at the UACTE Conference held Feb. 5-6 in St. George. Mrs. Crandall earned this award because of the work she is doing with students in her Early Childhood Education classes. She trains them to write lesson plans, work at Maple Mountain s preschool, and intern at other preschools. Mrs. Crandall wears many hats at our school. In addition to her childhood development classes, she teaches sewing, and family and consumer science, and is the school s department chair over the career and technical education (CTE) program. Mrs. Crandall shares, When I found out high school students could earn their Child Development Associate (CDA), I became very excited to implement and support students in their endeavors to become certified while still in high school. I jumped right onto the new curriculum by collaborating with other teachers, including kindergarten teachers to see what my students would need to be prepared to teach preschool. Now, under her tutelage, Crandall s students can earn their CDA, by completing 450 hours of work-based learning and teaching in the preschool class. The students create a collection of their lesson plans and notes from class, keep tracking sheets from working, and then must pass the CDA test. Many of my students are preparing to teach preschool, Head Start or to become an elementary school teacher. Several students are interested in the pediatric medical field and are taking this course to further their education with their career plans, Crandall said. We are so excited Mrs. Crandall is a teacher at our school! Way to go Mrs. Crandall! Congratulations!

This play is the stage version of the classic film 12 Angry Men. The story focuses on a jury room as the 12 individuals debate the guilt of a young man on trial for the murder of his father. The deliberations reveal the biases and prejudices of the jury members who start out wanting a quick guilty verdict. A lone juror suggests that the responsibility of those in the room is to look beyond their first impressions to see if they can uncover the truth. As they debate, the audience is asked to place themselves in the jurors' shoes and consider where they stand. Acting and tech students have been working on this piece since early January. The cast includes Ben Gleason, Hannah Wood, Ondine Morgan, Adam Gowers, Marguerite Morgan, Jaren Wood, Nicole James, Cassandra Smith, Emma Garlitz, Corbin Radford, Shay Swenson, Jasmine Johnson, and Ryan Hawkins. The play will perform for four nights: Thursday, March 3; Friday, March 4; Saturday, March 5; and Monday, March 7. Performances begin at 7:00 PM, and the cost is $5 for students and $6 for adults.

3 Twelve Angry Jurors will be performed in an intimate space - all seating will be on the auditorium stage surrounding a 468 square foot jury room. We want to audience to truly feel a part of the world of the play.

Bell Photography, who takes our school pictures and did our senior pictures last year, did not have enough seniors interested in getting their pictures taken last year, and therefore won't be offering that option this year. Bell Photography indicated that in visiting with parents, they found that with all of the nice cameras people have access to now, even on their cell phones, most parents did not want to pay the money for professional pictures. *GRADUATION INFORMATION: Josten s will be at our school on Tuesday, March 15 th from lunch until after school to deliver pre-ordered graduation announcements and to take orders.
