A group of Pattonville High School computer science students won the 2024 World Wide Technology STEM Student Forum claiming a $10,000 first place prize for developing an idea for a program that will assist students in selecting classes that are beneficial during their high school years and college. The program, Anchor, is essentially an AI academic advisor.
On April 9, the Pattonville Board of Education welcomed a Pattonville High School student to serve as a non-voting member on the board. The student representative will serve in an advisory capacity to represent the interests of students in the district. Junior Rylie Faasen was selected as the district’s first student representative. She joined newly elected board members Jeanne Schottmueller, Jan Schweiss and Rená Simmons during the board’s regular meeting in April.
On April 8, students and staff in Pattonville waited outside with anticipation of the coming solar eclipse. Around 2 p.m., they experienced 98% totality, with the moon nearly blocking out the sun creating a dusk-like environment. Leading up to the big event, students watched a video on eye safety for viewing the eclipse, participated in a variety of eclipse-related lessons and then witnessed it in person.
