Beyond the Expected....Writers Bootcamp

In Writer's Boot camp, I learned how to properly set up an essay, and I learned that it is a lot easier than I thought. Also, I got better at writing essays, and writers boot camp is something I will remember for a long time.

 Writer's Boot Camp taught students how to correctly prepare an essay easily, finding it more simple than I thought. The challenges that we had to accomplish were a fun addition to the camp that I will never forget. I feel like this Camp helped students find out more about writing and the values of it.

Writer's Boot Camp taught students how to write essays a lot more easily, without the stress of wondering if everything you are writing is right or wrong. I think I was a really creative way to to help us improve on our writing. I think the added challenges to receive our challenges made the activities a lot more exciting.

BEYOND High School

Career day was quite eventful I attended a talk show host who bow fishes on tv and has a show to! He has one of the fastest boats in the U.S I learned that no matter what career you take you can become anything you want to do in the future and still have a good revenue stream. - Azuka 8th Grade

BEYOND EXCITED!!

Briarhill is BEYOND EXCITED to be the only K-12 public school in the state of Texas to be hosting a downlink with the astronauts on the International Space Station. A downlink is what JSC (Johnson Space Center) calls a virtual conference or Skype. Last April we submitted a letter of intent to JSC and in September received our February 14 downlink date.

Our 2017/18 school theme is BEYOND. As a school we are going BEYOND the expected. We are going:

• BEYOND High School by hosting a career day. Students will choose three careers they wish to learn more about.
• BEYOND the Classroom are various activities that we are offering students to join in order to better prepare them for our ISS Downlink.  Click here to view a SMORE that list various activities. 
• BEYOND the Borders is an international collaboration between Briarhill students and students from Russia. Participating students will virtually meet, research their country's space agencies, and collaborate on a Google Slide presentation. 

We are going BEYOND the Expected this school year. By visiting our blog, we hope you will take this amazing journey with us.
