Haley Burchett, Murray High School Geometry teacher, received the Main Impact Teacher Grant, providing students in her MHS Honors Geometry classes the opportunity to build kites.
During the project, students measured the perimeter of the kite to determine the amount of string needed to secure the base of their kite, then measured the amount of table cloth needed for the surface area of the kites by dilating the frame of their kite.
After crafting their kites, students analyzed properties of quadrilaterals by measuring the side lengths and angles of their kites. #murrayschools
Murray High School Speech Team Seniors, Aidan Wild, Marli Mehta, Ayamei Willett and junior Ali Yarali have been recognized as Academic All Americans by the National Speech and Debate Association. These students are recognized for academic rigor, competitive speech and debate success, and personal excellence.
To be eligible to receive the award, students must have completed at least five semesters of high school; earned the degree of Superior Distinction in the National Forensic League Honor Society; have a GPA of 3.7 or higher; and demonstrated outstanding character and leadership.
From more than 141,000 student members of the National Speech and Debate Association, fewer than 1,000 students earn the Academic All-American Award every year. "This prestigious honor is a testament to the dedication, resilience, and hard work of these students both in the classroom and in competition," said Coach Mike Robinson. "We are incredibly proud of their achievements as they continue to emulate the best in everything they do." The Murray High Speech Team is led by Michael Robinson with assistant coaches Jennifer McCafferty and Drew Thompson.
