WILDCAT FAN OF THE WEEK
This week, we honor the biggest fans of all: THE EHS CHEERLEADERS! No matter the score, no matter the distance, no matter the weather, they are there to support the Cats.
They cheer on the sidelines for football and basketball and work their competition routines for November and December each year. THANK YOU, ladies! For all you do! You rock!

Students in Ms. Lindquist's Biology classes studied the properties of water last week. They completed a lab were they studied water properties at different stations- cohesion, high heat of vaporization, density, universal solvent, and capillary action. Cool lab, Science Cats!

Congrats to the EHS Golf Teams!
They swept Crossett at Mystic Creek yesterday! The Boys scored 266 over Crossett's 348, and the Girls scored 313 over Crossett's 360.
Preston Howard continues steady scoring with an 82 to claim another medalist honors. Aaron Ezell carded an 89, Saxon Morgan 95, Brendan Jones 96, Baylor Blackburn 108, John Hollis 103, Landen Rainwater 114.
Hope Walthall and Aubrey Marx tied for medalist at 99 in the girls match. Alexa Hulsey 115, Lani Hammock 117, Sydney Marx 119.
Mystic Creek is one of the toughest courses the golf team plays, and some of the scores are coming down each time they play there. Next up is Lake Hamilton at the Glenwood Golf course on Thursday.
Ms. Cathy Thompson, Product Manager with First Orion Corp in Little Rock, AR spoke to Survey of Business students recently. Ms. Thompson gave an overview of her job with First Orion Corp and discussed the many types of scams and the ease of identity theft in the technology world today. What an interesting speaker, Ms. Owens!
PreAP Bio students from Mrs. Rankin's class explored pH last week. All these Science Cats are staying busy with super engaging labs and hands-on learning! Way to go, Mrs. Rankin!
Check out Algebra I students as they participated in a Scavenger Hunt Review for their unit test over Number Classification, Properties of Numbers, Translations, and Equations! What a fun and engaging way to review, Ms. Adams!
PreAP Bio is at it again! This time, they are preparing a serial dilution of an acid and measuring the pH. These scholars can't get enough of Mrs. Parker's fun and engaging science labs!
While we are waiting on the final results from the EHS Cross Country meet this morning, we wanted to share a special moment that happened during the meet.
One of the 7th grade athletes, Zachary McMillon, went down with a knee injury at the beginning of the junior boys race. Senior JD Halstead saw what was going on and went to check on McMillon. When Halstead realized McMillon could not put any weight on his knee, Halstead took it upon himself to carry McMillion to the EHS tent for treatment.
And that, Wildcat Nation, is the true spirit of being a Wildcat. Thank you, JD and Zachary, for reminding us what being a student athlete is all about: leadership, sportsmanship, and friendship!

Mrs. Moon's seniors had their initial meeting with the College and Career Coaches to backwards plan their future. April Malone, one of the EHS College and Career Coaches, created a central webpage for all of their senior year planning. They will meet several times throughout the year to allow students to monitor their progress toward success. What a wonderful experience for our seniors!
WILDCAT FAN OF THE WEEK
This week, we are honoring Tony Hooks! Just two and a half weeks after undergoing triple bypass surgery, Mr. Hooks made it to the top of the stadium to his regular seat near the press box to watch his son Cameron in the opening Wildcat game of the season last week. Mr. Hooks stayed the entire game.
Mr. Hooks attends football games every week unless he's working, then he listens on the radio. He loves his family and the Wildcats, but his dedication to supporting his son shines the most!
We are proud to call you a Wildcat fan, Mr. Hooks! Thanks for supporting the Wildcats!

Last week, the English Department met for a department meeting. This is what Literacy Instructional Facilitator Tate Aldrich had to say:
"We don’t complain about “reinventing the wheel” We revisit, reevaluate, and reimagine best practices!
El Dorado High School’s English Department spent the morning focused on *intentionality* and standard-driven Learning Outcomes... How else will our students acquire “the language of learning?” (Hattie, Visible Learning for Teachers)
This awesome team of teachers has already provided me so much inspiration—and it’s only Week 3! "
EHS is lucky to have such awesome teachers in all our departments. We are excited for what's happening in our school! Way to go, English Department!
