Final Design/Rocket Launch

RCC Dual Enrollment (DE) 

RCC DE Webpage: rappahannock.edu/academics/dual-enrollment/

Dual enrollment programs enable students to take community college courses while enrolled in high school and provides college level opportunities not otherwise available. Dual enrollment allows qualified high school juniors and seniors to enroll in college courses during the school day where they receive both college and high school credit prior to high school graduation. Freshmen and sophomores can enroll with special approval from RCC’s administration.

Dual Enrollment has the opportunity to provide you with enough credits to graduate from high school with your Associate's Degree from RCC . You graduate from both high school and college your senior year! Please use the link above to learn more. It is never to early to plan! Inquiries can go to Mr. Dorsey or Hutt Williams. 

​Students, fill out this form for proof of enrollment

Friday is a catchup and reach-day.

We are starting by letting you quickly finish your rocket design if you need that time. Hopefully, almost everyone has that done though. 

If you are done, you get to design something on your own. If you finish it, we will vote as a class to see what we will 3D print and you will get it today or you will be able to pick it up at Glenns RCC sometime soon : ) 

Have your parent email me to ask about getting it later. 

Show and Tell and Rocket Launches

At 12:00 parents are invited to our classroom (158) for a short show-and-tell where students can share the things they designed on the computer and what they were able to get printed. Mr. Dorsey will share other regional STEM opportunities your family can consider when your students get older. 

At around 12:15, we will walk down to the RCC parking lot to do the rocket launches and take a class picture. The show and tell and rocket launches are optional for parents. We should be done at around 12:30 for parent pickup. 

Other STEM Student Opportunities

Want to continue in STEM? See the following opportunities! 
All of these programs are FREE!
If your student enjoys STEM, here are some other regional opportunities you might want to consider in the coming years. 

Chesapeake Bay Governor's School (CBGS)

The Chesapeake Bay Governor's School for Marine and Environmental Science is your region's STEM magnet school open to area public school students from 10th to 12th grade. Students apply while in 9th grade.

If you are interested, it is worth talking to guidance now to discuss your student's math track. Students should need to have geometry finished before enrolling in CBGS, but having Algebra II done before enrolling usually leads to students performing better.
