Today, SMHS Chemistry students are experimenting with the various effects of the sublimation phase change in Dry Ice.




This week SMHS Forensic science students are determining the impact angle (the angle between the path of the blood drop and the surface) of blood spatter. They will drop the synthetic blood from one meter above the top surface at varying degrees, then measure the major and minor axis of the drop, and apply the equation: impact angle= sin-1(minor axis/major axis); this task will help determine the point of origin of unknown blood droplets.
Tonight SMHS will host an LKC Volleyball Playoff game with South Harrison. It is also their PINK OUT game to raise awareness for breast cancer. JV starts at 6pm with Varsity to follow. Please come out and support the Lady Devils volleyball team and wear your pink shirt! Also, if you ordered a volleyball PINK OUT shirt, they will be available for pick up at the gate!

SMHS will be holding tutoring starting Tuesday 10/19 from 3:45PM - 5:45PM in the Commons area. Tutoring will be held every Tuesday and Thursday from 3:45PM - 5:45PM for this school year.

SMHS Senior Portraits will be taken tomorrow. Students will be provided with an outfit. Students will receive a code and will be able to view and purchase these photos online after picture day.
Underclassmen retakes will be taken tomorrow as well. Any student who did not have their photo taken in August should be photographed tomorrow.
