Our ESports team travelled to the Cox Convention Center in Tulsa on Thursday, Nov 2 for the Northeast Regional Qualifier for Smash Bros. Unfortunately, we did not qualify but our students did win several matches and gained valuable experience for such a young team. Our students came away with a sense of confidence that can carry them to future success. For more information on our ESports program see our course syllabus: HERE.

Mr. Scott's Computer Aided Design class was challenged to create CAD Designs for Halloween. Below are some of the Halloween creations that our students created.
The Pryor High School Aviation will travel to Orlando, FL on Sunday November 12-14 for the AOPA Symposium. The trip has been funded by a grant from the Oklahoma Aeronautics Commission. Pryor High School is in its sixth year of providing Aviation and Aeronautics Education using the AOPA You Can Fly curriculum. Last year our staff flew to Memphis, TN, courtesy of Mr. Jim Bryant for the 2022 AOPA Symposium and gained a wealth of knowledge, new information and made many new contacts.
On Monday morning, our very own Dr. Jenny Peters will lead a breakout session, Drones in the Classroom. Also, Paula Keady with the Oklahoma Department of Aerospace and Aeronautics (formerly OAC) will be a Special Guest Speaker on Monday afternoon.
