AP Environmental Science Explores Energy Sources

main image

The AP Environmental Science students are currently learning about Renewable and Non-Renewable energy sources in class. As a major assessment for this unit, they have been tasked with creating a group presentation for a specific renewable energy source. Each group is to approach the project as if they were a corporation trying to sell their form of energy to a town that currently uses fossil fuels. They have written a research paper on their topic, designed a sales poster, and created an oral presentation to sell their product in class to a group of "town council members".

I am extremely proud of the work these students have put into these projects and hope that teaching their peers about their energy source will instill in them the knowledge they need to be successful on the exam at the end of the year.

Junior Class Embarks On College Tour

The Junior Class embarked on a three-day Fall College Tour on November 11-13 that covered official tours of the following campuses: Clemson, Anderson, Erskine, Furman, Wofford and The University of South Carolina. Students also attended an RUF (Reformed University Fellowship) worship service at Clemson University and enjoyed talking with PCA alumni as we visited their colleges. The purpose of this trip is for Juniors to view different types of campuses, allowing them to assess fit by interacting with current students and faculty, understand the overall academic and social atmosphere, and make informed decisions about where to apply in their senior year.  

When asked what she enjoyed most about the trip, Sienna Amos stated, "I really enjoyed exploring a bunch of different types of schools and seeing what opportunities are for my future."
