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.
