Sheldon High School

Congratulations Preston Crawley! Preston Crawley has been selected to be part of IHSSA's RISE team! This is a relatively new program for IHSSA (started just last year) in which only 12 Speech kids from the entire state are selected to be the student leadership team for the program. After a very long application process and out of the hundreds and hundreds of applicants, he was selected as one of three to represent the Northwest District. Preston, the IHSSA administrators, and the fellow RISE students will be models for performing, will have a very active role in the planning and preparation of All-State Festivals, will run the IHSSA's social media platform, will meet and plan for how to best serve the Speech students in Iowa, and many more responsibilities. Congratulations Preston! #LeadOn #Orabs #Sheldon #sheldonorabs #sheldonhighschool #speech

We are proud to share that our very own Sheldon High School students had the incredible opportunity to participate in the 2024 Central Space Design Competition held in Houston, Texas! Hosted by InSimEd and located at the prestigious Johnson Space Center at the Gilruth Center facility, this competition was nothing short of extraordinary. Twenty schools from Iowa, including Sheldon, traveled to Houston, organized by NWAEA. With approximately 140 students from across Iowa and Texas, our Sheldon students delved into a simulation game set in the future. On the first day, they were treated to a captivating keynote speech and engaged in a Moon Quiz, setting the stage for an enriching experience. Anita Gale's introduction to the competition sparked enthusiasm, and students wasted no time diving into their roles within their respective companies. Let's give a huge shoutout to our talented Sheldon team members: 🌟 Rachel Besaw - Human Engineering 🌟 Emma Boone - Marketing/Sales and Human Engineering 🌟 Gage Haan - Automation Engineering 🌟 Abigail Otto - Human Engineering 🌟 Eric Van Maanen - Automation Engineering Their dedication, teamwork, and passion for space exploration truly shone throughout the competition. #LeadOn #orabs #sheldonorabs #sheldon #nasa #space #stem
