2019-20 School Year Nears The Half Way Point
We are also embarking on a great week of school spirit next week. It is our annual Battle for the Paddle Competition next Friday and it is preceded by a week of events. Each day students are encouraged to dress up based on a different theme cumulating with our Extreme Green and Gold Day on Friday. All during the week, there will be a fundraising effort to raise money for the Lions Club Backpack Program which provides essential food items for families in our community in need. If you would like to donate to this effort feel free to send a check or cash with your student and drop it off at the front office. Finally, we go to Sandpoint next Friday night to participate in the spirit competition comprised of Girls Basketball, Boys Basketball, Wrestling and performances by our Cheer and Dance Teams along with the infamous Battle of the Bands. It is a great night to see our students shine. We have a lot to be proud of! Go Hawks!

Congrats to our Grand Challenge Scholars Program fall 2019 graduate Tyler Siegford!
University of Idaho College of Science biochemistry major Tyler Siegford has worked with a number of faculty mentors and collaboratively with Washington State University’s Garner Research Group on synthetic glycosylation technology that could revolutionize protein therapeutics.
His research has helped optimize recombinant protein production procedures for the U of I biological engineering labs for years to come. He also built and tested a novel resin linker that can be used to make large proteins chemically.
Tyler earned a total of $13,620 in research funding along the way, including a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship and IDeA Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence Fellowship. He has also presented his research at national and regional conferences.
He has decided to apply to dental schools and is studying for the MCAT this winter.
