Parking Lot Gets A Makeover

Pat’s Place Is Open For Business

The CTE program has opened a store that will serve the student body with school supplies, spirit items & healthy snacks. They will also sell school shirts and other items designed and made by our very own Graphic Arts Department.

The store will be called Pat’s Place in honor of Patricia Dienz, who is leaving Pueblo after being named Director of High Schools in TUSD.

Pat's Place Ribbon Ceremony

Many students attended the ribbon cutting ceremony this morning. Patricia was in tears as she told the students how grateful she was for this honor.

Pat’s Place is a work in progress and has been curriculum based since the very beginning. The Business students created a business plan/proposal which was submitted to administration. In order for a student to work in the store they will need to fill out a job application and go through an interview process.

The store will be open from 7:15 a.m. – 2:45 p.m. and it’s located between rooms 172 & 173. Food items will not be sold during lunch periods.

Pueblo Robotics Team Wins Again

The Pueblo High Robotics Club won big at the Arizona Vex Robotic Tournament this weekend at Sahurita High School.

Pueblo’s “Robotic Asylum” Robotic Club entered four robots in the Operation Desert Duel at Sahurita High School. The team won 1st, 2nd, & 3rd & 8th place of eighteen teams entered. Though the competition was tough, it was made more interesting for our team when we battled each other for the top three spots!

Pueblo Radio & Amateur Astronomy Club

The Pueblo Radio and Amateur Astronomy Club is now full functioning.  A website was developed to demonstrate their involvement in “slewing” professional telescopes in Norway, Puerto Rico, The Netherlands, New Mexico, Chile, Hawaii and Australia.

[Visit Website]

Jhovana Peralta, Yaritza Martinez-Cano, Marcus Nesbitt and Mylene Martinez are the “sky pioneers” at Pueblo.  They will shortly begin taking images of faraway places and events.  They have seen their first picture of a black hole consuming neighboring galaxies; how many of us will ever be able to say that?

In addition, NASA has sent links to recently-developed space websites that are all in Spanish!  The club is communicating with the Universidad Tecnologica Autonoma de Mexico in Mexico City to create a sharing of space images and resources to help our students become better consumers of space and wireless technologies.
