Nineteen Howe Seniors were recently recognized by Carl Albert State College for each earning 15+ college credit hours. The Seniors earning this distinction were presented honor cords in CASC colors. This amazing group of students completed a total of 668 college credit hours at CASC. Additionally, this year’s Valedictorian, Brayden Oglesby, and Salutatorian, Matthew Mitchell, will be graduating from high school and from Carl Albert State College with their Associates Degrees. Brayden will be graduating from CASC with an Associates in Business Administration and plans to transfer to Arkansas Tech in Russellville, Arkansas majoring in Business Administration. Matthew will be graduating from CASC with an Associates in Criminal Justice and plans to transfer to the University of Central Oklahoma in Edmond, Oklahoma with a double major in Forensic Science/Criminal Justice.

Part of Mrs. Cooper's Environmental Science class' celebration of Earth Day was to create an Earth Day themed meme. You can celebrate too! Earth Day is about awareness of our own everyday habits; so, use today to ask yourself important questions like, "Where does my trash go?", "Am I using my electricity efficiently?", "How clean is the water that I drink?" #HPSLions

Earth Day: Environmental Science student, Naythan Ocampo, is working in his family's composting area. Did you know that at least 30% of all the produce bought by Americans goes in the trash. Composting is a great way to dispose of those unused fruits and vegetables while also building fertile soil. Soil is often considered a nonrenewable resource because of the time and variety of resources needed to create good soil. Celebrate Earth Day, start composting! #HPSLions
