ABAC Visits Education Classes
Dr. Melissa Baker, Department Head of Education and Wellness and Ryan Hogan, Vice President of Enrollment, Marketing and Communication visited the CTAE Education as a Pathway students on Friday, February 20. The students were given information about a new Early Childhood Education program offered at ABAC in Tifton and Bainbridge, Georgia. They also learned about other programs offered at ABAC, along with enrollment, financial aid opportunities and housing. We really appreciate Dr. Baker and Mr. Hogan for sharing these opportunities for our students.

Scoliosis Screening Coming in March
Attention 6th & 8th grade parents: Beginning on Monday, 3/2 through 3/12, all 6th & 8th grade students will have a mandatory scoliosis screening performed during their tribe time class. This is a state-mandated requirement UNLESS the child's parent/guardian returns the screening form SIGNED with "OPT OUT" selected. Forms will be going home the last week of February with your child. Female students are required to wear a sports bra or bathing suit top, and Male students need to wear a t-shirt for the test. Your students' tribe time teacher will notify them the day before their screening that they will be screened the next day. If you have any questions, please contact the school nurse at tina.calhoun@seminole.k12.ga.us.

9th Grade Environmental Scientists Explore Life at the Cellular Level - With Penguins in Mind
9th grade Environmental Science students took a deep dive into biology with a hands-on diffusion and osmosis lab. This lab allowed for students to connect what happens inside a cell to what’s happening in the natural world, including the future of penguins and their young.
During the lab, students investigated how water and various molecules move across membranes, observing how changes in the surrounding environment affect cells. By placing model cells in different solutions, students could see firsthand how environmental conditions can help cells maintain balance or push them into stress.
The real-world connection made science come alive. Students discussed how these same principles apply to animals living in extreme environments, such as penguins in polar regions. Just as cells rely on stable conditions to function properly, penguins depend on specific environmental factors such as cold temperatures, sea ice, and access to food to survive and reproduce.
By linking cellular processes to global environmental challenges, students gained a clear understanding of why protecting ecosystems matters not just for animals today, but for generations yet to come. The lab reinforced a powerful takeaway: Environmental Science isn’t just about the planet; it’s about life at every level, from microscopic cells to entire species.
Through curiosity, collaboration, and critical thinking, these scientists in training are building the scientific foundation needed to understand how to protect the world they will inherit.

Biology students go BANANAS for DNA🍌🧬
Ever wondered what DNA looks like?
Biology students explore Banana DNA Extraction LAB.
It’s surprisingly dramatic! By combining curiosity with hands-on learning, the banana DNA extraction lab strengthened students’ understanding of genetics and scientific procedures. Experiences like this help bring biology to life and inspire students to think like scientists, ask questions, follow procedures to identify evidence, and discover how science shapes the world around them.

Seminole Stix Competes on Lake Hartwell
The Seminole Stix Fishing Team traveled to Lake Hartwell yesterday to compete against anglers from across the state, and our students represented Seminole County Middle High School well!
In the High School Division, Lyndon Touchton competed as a single angler and finished 89th overall. Competing solo is no easy task, and Lyndon showed determination and focus throughout the day.
In the Junior Division, Wes Walker and Liam Shingler had a strong showing, finishing 23rd overall. With just about 10 minutes left before weigh-in, Wes snagged an impressive 3-pound bass that boosted their total weight and moved them up in points — an exciting finish to the day!
Coach Brandon Ingram shared how proud he is of these team members and their continued growth throughout the season. The team is working hard to earn valuable points as they move closer to the Championship later this year, which will be held on our home waters at Lake Seminole.
We are proud of our Seminole Stix and look forward to cheering them on as the season continues!
