Did you guys know that there is a club at Hastings High School that has extracted DNA from strawberries? Well that club is known as Science National Honors Society which is also sponsored by one of Hastings very own physics teacher, Kirsten Statt.

The Science NHS is very useful for students that have a true passion for science and would like to do more experiments than the ones that are done during the school time. “I wanted to join Science NHS because I’ve always had a love for science, especially when it pertained to animals or how the human brain works. I want to explore these areas that I am interested in more” – Aquielle Richards. This program

gives students a better understanding of what is happening in science. When a student is taking a science class they generally do about 1-3 projects a school year. Fortunately that is not the case in Science NHS in this program you will get to do more experiments and project than you could ever imagine doing in a school year. That is why this program goes deeper than what a basic science class can teach you. The students in this Science NHS really benefit from it in so many ways. Some students join this Science NHS sometimes join just because they would simple I like to meet new people that have the same interests as them. “I think I will be able to appreciate the art of science more and also connect with the group of people who also share the same interests with me regarding science” -Karla Mejia. There are also students that would like to join the medical field and science is most definitely required when you are in medical school. Then you have the others that just simple just want to try something new where they can learn things that they have never learned before. All in all the Science Na-tional Honors Society is a wonderful program for students that would like to do more science related things outside of the regular classroom. “Science NHS is for a group of juniors and seniors where they would do science and engineering projects after school” said Statt.
