Jonathan Bradford and Tristan McMahan took two fourth grade classes to Texarkana’s Perot Theater’s presentation of Carnegie Hall’s Link up program. Mrs. Bush’s and Mrs. Waggoner’s class were in attendance.
Carnegie Hall’s link up program is an interactive curriculum that introduces students to the orchestra. Last Year’s program was “The Orchestra Rocks.” This year’s focus was “The Orchestra Swings.”
This musical educational program allows students to sing or play. A curriculum is provided in advance to prepare the students for this program. Special thanks to the TSO Symphony, R. Gray, the Magnet Program (team) Dr. Duke and Zac Hoglund. Special thanks to Dr. Jonathan Crossley for bringing this program to our attention last year.
Recently, Jeremiah Humphrey from United Welding Institute in Pottsville visited Hope High to talk about their welding program, and to demonstrate the TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding process. Hope High School recently purchased four TIG Master Pro TIG Torches so our students may be exposed to this welding process, and be better prepared to further their experience, and elevate them to bigger and better things. #GoBobcats #ALLIN #HopeForTheFuture
