DMHS Hay Bale

Phoenix STEM students design and build a radioactive "Hazmat" hay bale art for the Town of Mayodan's "Hayodan" event.

Students working in groups, and without internet connection, came up with unique ideas for hay bale art to be displayed in front of McMichael High School during October and November. After refining ideas the students presented concept drawings and a small mock-up to the class. Students then voted on a winning idea. Many students were involved in the final design, cutting, painting, and installing. The final work in now located at the front of McMichael near NC Highway 135 and will be up until November 21st. A series of pictures that depict the design of the bale can be found here: Hay Bale Project

MHS

McMichael and Morehead High Schools host the first VEX Robotics Competition (VRC) in Rockingham County on January 18, 2016. The robotics competition dubbed "I have a dream", in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., was played at McMichael High School on MLK Jr. Day. Fifteen teams of drivers and programmers brought their machines and competed in both robot skills and programming skills challenges. Teams also played in qualification matches which led to the crowing event, the tournament finals. After some hard fought battles, both McMichael High and Morehead High shut out the competition in every event and collected all 8 event trophies.
