SPEAK UP. Junior Grant Brunner speaks at debate finals during last year’s competition. Although most teachers do not allow students to pick their own groups for debates, debates are truly a team effort. Group members must rely on one another to connect speeches and write the rebuttal.

WRITE FAST. Student journalists dictated notes from Principal Doug Mader in the journalism room, room 115. The students had prepared for the press conference by writing questions regarding SHS news for information and/or the administration's opinion on things happening (or possibly happening) in the SHS community. “Just know that the adults in this building try as hard as possible to make this the best building for you. There are times we miss the mark; we are human, and we are dealing with humans,” Mader said in final remarks on the conference.

ANTICIPATION. Sophomores Anupama Narayana, Alice Lundgren, and Deeptangshu Chatterjee prepare for the first section of the TEAMS competition. The competition had three parts; the first was comprised of 80 multiple choice questions that asked primarily math-based questions about engineering scenarios. The sophomore team found themselves frustrated and unsure about many of the problems, and frazzled queries abounded as teammates consulted each other for assistance. “Why is it a trapezoid? It should be a square! I literally don’t ask for much in life,” said Chee Yin (Daniel) Leong, 10, team member, while attempting to answer one question. All photos courtesy of Anisa Khatana.
