AP Biology Mealworms

This year, our AP Biology classes have been working on a yearlong research project, analyzing how the life cycle of mealworms is affected by the consumption of styrofoam. We were funded this year by the NY Academy of Sciences Scientist in Residence (SiR) program, and a group of students will present our research to SiR scientists from across the city. These students chose to make a video of this presentation instead of presenting live, and they worked really hard with me to analyze our data, write a script and other materials for the video, record it all, and narrate it, all while also preparing for our AP exam this week!

Here is the link to the video, if you'd like to see what we've worked on this year!

Trigonometry Project

History: The clinometer is a tool used by plumbers, miners, sailors and many others to measure angles of elevation. The clinometer was invented in 1989 and is still used today to measure the heights of objects that difficult to measure.

Purpose: In this trigonometry project, students constructed clinometers using protractors, straws, paper clips, a small weighted object and string. They worked in pairs to indirectly measure the heights of tall objects in the auditorium such as the balcony, windows, and projector using trigonometry.

Town Hall

To learn more about Town Hall, please click here to see the presentation by the Student Equity Council.

The Student Equity Council, Data, Curriculum & Instruction and Equity Education make up the four branches of the HSTAT Equity Committee. This month, the Student Equity Council put together a town hall for HSTAT students and staff. The purpose of the town hall was to gather people together to discuss topics that impact us everyday and what we can do as a community to address them. Student leaders from various clubs created workshops to inform and discuss the following topics: transgender and non-binary awareness, the invasion of Ukraine, and the ongoing conflict between Palestine & Israel. See the following slide show to learn more and for resources on these topics.

Our Parents

We are committed to ongoing communication and prompt consultation with parents — parents can expect to be advised about all school-related issues. Our school uses the PupilPath website to bring you immediate information regarding your child’s education. PupilPath allows you to view your child’s assignments and projects along with the dates when they are due, as well as your child’s performance in each class including homework, classwork, tests, and projects. Using PupilPath you can also view your child’s transcript and graduation eligibility status. In addition, PupilPath enables secure communication between staff, students, and their families. School announcements and a calendar of upcoming events are posted on the website regularly. An active PTA is our partner in parent outreach, jointly sponsoring numerous parent workshops on current topics of interest to the school community. In addition to being members of all policy committees, the PTA offers teacher grants, student scholarships, and other financial support to the school.
