This July, the Jesuit marine biology program embarked on its eighth annual scuba diving excursion. After the Virgin Islands were mauled by Hurricane Irma in 2017, the program was left without a dive location. After experimenting in Hawai'i on last year's trip, this year we traveled to the Grand Caymans, a small island group in the Caribbean. Around 40...
Recently, the sounds of marbles falling, saws cutting, drills whirring, and people shouting have become an ordinary occurrence in the upstairs B hallway.

The Rube Goldberg Project essentially combines all of the aspects we learned in the second semester of physics...

High schoolers performing cutting edge research…
WHAT?!?
It might sound crazy, but that’s just what rising seniors Peter Hundley, Jackson Petroll, Connor Thomas, and Nicholas Wilson did over the summer. UT Southwestern’s STARS program brought over 50 metroplex high schoolers together for an eight week paid research program.

"Hey! Can I borrow your drill (or hot glue gun, or a couple zipties/screws)?"
"Are you gonna use this , or do you need it?"
"When does this period end?" *bell rings*
