Highlight student organization of the month for “Giving Back” is Mrs. Kathy Rodgers’ Contemporary Issues Class.  They are sponsoring “Beads for Life” to benefit women from Uganda.  These women hand make jewelry out of recycled paper and sell them to support themselves and their children.  Mrs. Rodgers and her students will have these beautiful necklaces for sale with 100% of the profits going back to the Ugandan women so their lives may be enriched.  Contact Mrs. Rodgers via the school office or email at  HYPERLINK "mailto:krodgers@havc.k12.al.us" krodgers@havc.k12.al.us.

Special recognition goes out to Fabian Cortez for finishing 1st in the State 4A Cross Country Meet and our Boys CC team for finishing 3rd in the State Meet.  We have a tradition of good cross country champions and it great to see it continue with this year’s runners.  Congratulations Fabian and all of the Boys Cross Country team!

Business and Industry Certification is the benchmark standard for all Career Technical Programs and recently the State Department of Education visited our Center of Technology for recertification of five programs: Welding under Mr. Ronnie Barton; Drafting under Mr. Jimmy McCrary; Agri-Science/Building Construction under Mr. Brock Dunn; and 2 units of Family Consumer Science (Home Ec) under Mrs. Lila Dodd and Mrs. Lisa Arnold.  All programs were given recertification with high commendations.  Haleyville is proud that all of our Career Tech Programs are BIC certified.
