H. English 10 Sts. are conducting rhetorical analysis with Justice Marshall’s ‘54 speech to the SCOTUS. This is an AP Lang. skill that crosses content areas, but also prepares Sts. for real life: advocating for themselves and defending their beliefs! 🙌🏻 #SMMHSSoars

#wordoftheyear I asked my Sts to choose a word of the year so that every time they walk in, they are reminded that they are capable of making this year the best one yet. I chose “balance,” and if you know me, then you are probably thinking that it’s about time. 🤣 @SMMHSSoars

Hard to believe that Luke is now an SMMHS graduate but can’t wait to see what he accomplishes with the UTK College of Music! @UTKSOM Congrats to the Class of 2023!

@shaneharwood75 Thank you! It was a long wait between February auditions and yesterday’s release date. We are excited, too!

[Kristin Robertson @KRobSMMHS]

Officially accepted into the University of TN School of Music as a music major and committed for Fall 2023! This was a VERY competitive process, and we couldn’t be more proud of him. Excited for Luke’s next chapter! Go big 🍊!!

This was Day 2 of live action scenes in Act 5 of Macbeth. The kids got into their parts and brought them to life with their interpretations, but even better than that, they had fun doing it! 👑🎭📚

Instead of reading Act 5 in parts today, H.Eng 10 Sts. are performing Act 5 scenes for the class. This will help prep them for their final projects where each group will write and film a modern interpretation of a scene!🎥🎭

When you’re about to “off” someone for the king, you need to look like a hitman. Obviously, that means a light saber and bandana.

Honors Eng.10 Sts. are studying Shakespeare’s influence on the English language and created their own Shakespearean insults that they shared with the class. They also presented their research on the bard’s life, works, and impact on literature. 📚 #SMMHSSoars

One big step is now behind him as Luke prepares to audition for the University of Tennessee School of Music! 🍊 🎷 🎶

I can’t believe we have an 18 year old, but we couldn’t be more proud! Happiest 18th birthday to our oldest. He is amazing, and we can’t wait to see all the wonderful things ahead of him over the next year!

These two went from the runner-up marching band state champs last weekend to 1st chair alto and 1st chair tenor saxophone for All East Jazz Band auditions this weekend! Proud of how hard they work and how passionate they are about music! 🎷
