AP Environmental Science Field Trip
Mr. Shurter and AP Environmental Science students had a great time learning the operations of a modern landfill that uses an LFGTE system (Landfill Gas To Energy) where landfill gas is captured and burned in generators to create electricity on site. DTE Energy provides the generators and powers over 3000 homes in the local area. Smiths Creek landfill was also the first landfill in the country to use a Septage Bioreactor, where septage is injected into the landfill to increase the decomposition of organic matter and natural gas production. Thanks Smiths Creek Landfill and DTE Energy for your environmental stewardship and welcoming atmosphere!”

Field Trip to Hamtramack
On Monday, November 11th, 2019 Rochester High School art classes took a field trip to Hamtramack to experience their up and coming art scene, and see real artists put their talents to work. First stop was a visit to a former RHS alumnus graphic design studio, Good. Done Daily. While there professional graphic designers shared their past and current projects and spoke to students about their careers. Students also visited Dmytro Szylak’s “Disneyland Hamtramck”, and outdoor found art sculpture park reminiscent of Tyree Guyton’s Heidelberg Project. The last stop, and highlight of the trip, was The Detroit Parade Company where students got an up close look at the floats for the Detroit Thanksgiving Day Parade. Students were able to see the artists as the practices their craft, sculpting and painting the floats in preparation for the big day.

Model UN Club
On Saturday, November 9th, Rochester High School's Model United Nations Club attended the Southeast Michigan Model United Nations Association's (SEMMUNA) Fall Conference at Stoney Creek High School, accompanied by club adviser, Ms. Frisby. Rochester High School students were among the 865 delegates and 35 schools participating in this year’s conference. Rochester students were split into various committees where they attempted to devise diplomatic resolutions for specific global issues, including instability in the Persian Gulf region, HIV and AIDS, freedom of the press in politically underdeveloped nations, and the situation in Jammu and Kashmir. Students engaged in diplomatic negotiations with students from other schools, spoke on behalf of their nations’ interests, and learned more about the complex issues facing our world today from diverse perspectives. They then collaborated with other nations’ representatives in their committees to write resolutions in which they might compromise or remain firm in their positions depending on the issue and viewpoints at hand. The global focus of Model United Nations, coupled with engagement in real-world research, speaking, writing, and negotiating skills, makes opportunities like the SEMMUNA Conference an ideal place for RHS students to gain valuable experiences and have fun while doing so!
