Washington Aerospace Scholars (WAS)
Teacher & Student Applications are Available Now!
“Since 2006, Washington Aerospace Scholars (WAS) has been giving Washington state’s high school juniors and teachers the unique opportunity to explore educational and career pathways in the world of STEM while interacting with like-minded peers from across the state.
WAS participants will get an inside look at Washington’s aerospace industry and information about STEM educational and career pathways. In addition to being exposed to university level curriculum and content, teachers will also have opportunities to interact with STEM professionals, participate in tours of engineering and research facilities that are not available to the general public, and work with highly engaged and motivated peers.”

MST9 Magnet Olympic Champions
It is tough being a Magneto. During our orientation we (the staff and elder Magnetos) put the youngins through a grueling competition. One group rose to the top and earned the title–Magnet Olympic Champions. In their honor, their names will be engraved on a plaque and placed on the champion trophy displayed in Mrs. Newman’s room.

MST Freshmen Orientation
Every year we welcome our freshmen at the annual orientation we host just prior to the start of school. We run them through various ice breakers and activities, get them lockers, tour the school, then finish the event with a BBQ. On behalf of the Magnet program, we’d like to welcome all 34 members of the MST class of 2018!

Symposium 2014
Our annual CHS MST Magnet Research Symposium is a showcase of original student research and project work done over the course of the year in grades 9-12. We displayed close to 40 projects in the CHS commons last night, 06/04/14. This project study is at the heart of what our program strives to be: an interdisciplinary, inquiry based experience and community through which students hone their understanding of the research process, develops skills on how to work on a team, and refine their presentation skills and ability to communicate. Oh how the program has grown and evolved!
Going way back to the fall of 2007 and the genesis of the MST program, we nervously welcomed our first class of some 30 bright eyed Magnet pioneers. They were the ones who paved the way for a program that is now on the verge of graduating its 4th class. It’s hard to believe it, but in just one week’s time, we’ll watch that 4th MST Magnet class, the class of 2014, walk across the stage at Doc Harris to join prior graduating classes in studying all over the US, applying the lessons they learned here at CHS and in the MST Magnet. Congratulations to all the students of the program, but especially the graduating class of 2014. Go forth and conquer! Qapla’ !

2013 Magnet Graduate Hollar Earns Research Award
Recent CHS / MST Magnet grad Sierra Hollar was awarded a $2,000 summer research grant by Boise State University and their STEM Summer Research Community. “The Boise State Summer Research Community program hosts several activities in partnership with several student research programs to involve the participants to unique interdisciplinary learning and research opportunities. Interaction with peers from a variety of disciplines provides an academically enriching environment.” The award is given to only one student per semester.
From her winning proposal that was peer reviewed by a scholar in Germany: “I wish to engage in the study of a novel group of symbiotic organisms, trichomycetes, in order to develop skills and expertise that will offer a contribution to the larger scientific community. This research could potentially yield new discoveries of both different microorganisms and candidate hosts, as well as give insight into habitats, traditional methods to preserve, and even prospective ways in which to harness, cultivate, and observe them in detail.”
Congratulations, Sierra!
