Human Geography Class: The Map Projection Dilemma:
Our students in Mr. Pickens' Human Geography class are getting a hands-on look at a major challenge in cartography: representing our round Earth on a flat map. Today, they tackled the age-old projection dilemma! Students first created their own world on a tennis ball. Then came the challenge: how to accurately transfer their globe to a flat surface? As they tried to flatten the curved surface, they quickly saw how their continents stretched and distorted. This simple but powerful activity helped them grasp the trade-offs in creating maps. We're already seeing the concepts of Mercator distortion and the Robinson projection come to life. The students' flattened worlds demonstrate why a map can't have perfect size, shape, and distance all at once. Next week, they'll dive deeper into how different projections are used for specific purposes, from navigation to education

The tradition continues! Thank you to the senior football players for helping with drop off and morning greetings today. Thank you Coach Willford, who started this for every home game several years back. Speaking of football, tonight is the first home game for our varsity team. Admissions is $6 for adult and $5 per child. Games starts at 7 versus South Point. Few reminders: Admission is taken at the main entrance and lower entrance for the stadium. No one should be in the playground areas during the game. Students that leave will have to pay to renter. Good sportsmanship and fan behavior is expected. Two concessions will be open: The Athletic Boosters will be on the away side under the bleachers and the Band Boosters will be on the home side between the fan and band bleachers. We look forward to a great performance from our cheer squad, band, and football team.

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of one of our students.
Ethan Rose and his mother tragically lost their lives in a car accident on Wednesday evening. Ethan was a Southern Local student going into his senior year. He was excelling in his full time college credit plus courses.
Ethan will be remembered fondly and missed deeply by his classmates, teachers, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. Our hearts go out to his family and friends as they navigate this heartbreaking loss.
We also offer our heartfelt condolences and support to his brother, Donovan Rose, a recent graduate of Southern High School.
Please keep the Rose family in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.
Students wanting to talk with someone, please reach out to the school. Hopewell counselors will be providing free services at the school on Friday the 6th of June. They will be located in the Kathryn Hart Center from 8-2pm. No appointment necessary. School counselors, Mr. Russ Fields (8:30am to noon) and Mrs. Olivia Hawley (8am to 2pm) will also be available.
