Gavit Pride

Just can't hide that Gavit Pride 2010-2011!

The MS Academic Team competed at the area competition in Merrillville on April 30th. Ms. Midkiff was the team coach and extremely proud of the team's accomplishments! The team members were well-prepared earning third place in Science, English, and second place in Social Studies and Math and the Multi-disciplinary. All day long the scores were so close, up one point and down one point. It was a tough battle but Gavit held its own!

Team members included the following seventh & eighth grade students:

Marqui Glinsey (English Team Captain),
Forsythia Pezel (Mathematics Team Captain),
Krista Baker (Social Studies Team Captain), Brandon Thongsawath (Science Team Captain),
Darlyne Ball,
Mitchell Beard,
Bernardo Diaz,
Samantha Gonzalez,
Emily Johnson,
Jordan McDaniel,
Jasmine Melendez,
David Stevenson, and
Benjamin Turpin.

A special thank you goes to Ms. Cost, the team's volunteer proctor. We could not compete without her help and we especially appreciated the home-baked cookies on the day of competition!!

Congratulations and nice job, MS Academic Team!

Gavit Nationally Recognized for PLTW WOW!!!

Gavit High School is now a Project Lead the Way (PLTW) Certified School. This certification is a national recognition. It honors schools that successfully implement the rigorous PLTW program, and it allows students to apply for college credit for the PLTW classes in which they are enrolled.

This certification is the result of a great deal of work done over the past year by our partnership team. The partnership team consists of Gavit PLTW teachers and administration, representatives from colleges, businesses, and industry, and also parents and other community members. A thorough self-assessment was completed, a site visit and evaluation was done in May, and our final certification report was received just this month.

This certification also reflects Gavit’s commitment to excellence in teaching and doing what’s best for our students. Not many schools implement the ambitious PLTW pre-engineering program. Far fewer are recognized for meeting and exceeding PLTW’s high standards.

If you have any questions or want more information about Project Lead the Way and the classes Gavit offers, the following teachers would love to speak with you:

Connie Romano, Introduction to Engineering Design (IED)
Shaun Kun, Principles of Engineering (POE)
Maureen McGrail, Digital Electronics (DE) and Civil Engineering and Architecture (CEA)
