Our students got hands-on today exploring photosynthesis and cellular respiration! Using bromthymol blue, they tested how carbon dioxide levels change during respiration and photosynthesis. 🫧🌿

To take it a step further, students rotated through stations where they used LEGOs to build the molecules involved in both processes and modeled how energy is transferred. 🧩⚡

So proud of their curiosity and creativity; check out the pictures below to see our young scientists in action! 📸✨

It's time to go all in for Homecoming Week! Let's get hyped, Fort Stockton, because this is our week to unite and show our Panther spirit. We've got a full schedule of dress-up days, parades, a community pep rally with a bonfire, crowning of the 2025 Homecoming King and Queen, and the Panthers take on the Crane Golden Cranes!
Let's make this the most spirited Homecoming Fort Stockton has ever seen. See you there!

Today, our Biology students investigated the enzyme catalase with Mrs. Zeyen. Catalase, found in ordinary baking yeast, speeds up the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. Students used balloons to capture the oxygen as it was released. The experiment sparked a lot of curiosity; many students left saying they wanted to be scientists!

Chemistry students tested three methods to separate a mixture: oil and water with Mrs. Zeyen. It's not as easy as it sounds, as people who clean up ocean oil spills know.

🔬 HS Biology Lab: Students got hands-on this week, comparing prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells under the microscope. They observed key differences between the two cell types and explored what makes each unique. 🧬
AWESOME Mrs. Martinez

The Panther tennis team hit the road to the Panhandle, taking on two of the top 4A programs in the state, along with a strong 5A opponent. Despite falling to Randall and West Plains, the Panthers battled for every point, showing grit and refusing to hang their heads. They capped off the trip on a high note, earning a hard-fought win over Palo Duro.
