🎶 Yulee High School students in the Marching Sound of One put in over 85 hours of work during band camp to prepare for their upcoming season. Many students are sporting new instruments that were purchased thanks to the One Mill.

After camp, the YHS gym was packed with band families as students proudly showed off what they had learned after hours of hard work. While they’re learning a lot about music, they’re also building important life skills like time management, personal responsibility, work ethic, and resiliency.

Yulee High is proud to showcase this season as a state-finalist band program.

Sixth-grade students at Callahan Middle School participated in their first science lab. The activity introduced the Scientific Process, a skill they will continue to use throughout their academic careers. The Flower Lab provided a hands-on opportunity to begin applying classroom content to real-world learning.

🚨CSI: Anatomy Edition! 🧪🔬

Today in Ms. Spiezio’s Anatomy and Physiology Honors class at Yulee High School, students turned into forensic investigators to solve the mysterious Death of Pickles! 🥒💀 They performed a full autopsy, examined the evidence, and worked together to uncover the cause of death.

Science has never been this thrilling! 🕵️‍♀️🧠
Way to go, future medical examiners! 🩺✨

🧼🧠 Mrs. Caula’s 2nd-grade class took a deep dive into the “S” in their schoolwide PBIS acronym NEST, Safety First! Students explored how to stay safe at school, including a key lesson on keeping hands clean and germ-free.

Their learning led to their very first science experiment: Why Soap Works. Students discovered that soap removes oils from our skin that trap dirt and germs, making handwashing a crucial part of staying healthy and safe.

Hands-on learning that sticks with science and safety, working side by side.
