Irwin County Schools, through the GADOE, have partnered with Parent ProTech to empower families, create safer digital habits, and strengthen school-to-home connections. Today’s students live in a tech-first world, and parents often struggle to keep up. Parent ProTech bridges that gap by providing schools with an easy-to-use platform that helps parents understand the technology their children use every day—social media, gaming, devices, and more.

Last Friday, Mrs. Bridges’ Chemistry classes learned about scientific notation, significant figures, and dimensional analysis. Students were able to figure out Grandma’s secret fudge recipe by converting different units for all of the ingredients. It was a tasty and fun lab for all!

Mrs. Hamby’s Food Science students put their teamwork to the test with a spaghetti tower challenge! This fun activity focused on problem-solving, creativity, and collaboration—key life skills. Great job, students!

Mrs. Hamby’s ECE2 students created an interactive poster board timeline to explore the History of Education. This hands-on project helped students connect past milestones in education to the progress we see today, while practicing collaboration and presentation skills.

Mrs. Griffin’s 10th grade students worked in groups to modernize Shakespeare’s Hamlet into a family group chat, taking turns “texting” on paper back and forth as the characters in the play. Love the creativity involved in putting a modern spin on a classic.

Last week in Physical Science, our 9th graders kicked off the year with the Penny Lab challenge in Mrs. Carter's class. They tested how many drops of clean water vs. soapy water a penny could hold, putting their scientific method knowledge and lab skills to work! It was a great start to the year! Can't wait to see what's next!

Congratulations to Justin Pope, a standouting ICHS student and active participant in Irwin County FFA!

Through his Supervised Agricultural Experience in agricultural production and diversified agriculture, Justin earned the opportunity to compete in the National FFA Proficiency Award Program. He was named a state finalist in April, and this morning, he’s officially been named a NATIONAL FINALIST!

Justin will now represent Irwin County as he competes in an interview process against three other finalists from across the country for the top honor in his SAE category of Diversified Agriculture Production.

He’ll take the national stage in Indianapolis, Indiana this October during the National FFA Convention.

Once again—congratulations, Justin Pope! This is an outstanding achievement, and we are so proud of how you represent Irwin County FFA.
