🎳 Mr. Zachary Pope’s Physics 111 class brought learning to life today by exploring circular motion with a hands-on bowling ball obstacle course in the hallway! Students like Ethan DeJong (who set the fastest time—beating Mr. Pope!) applied physics concepts to visualize centripetal acceleration in action. Physics 111 is just one of many College in the High School (CiHS) courses offered at Sedro-Woolley High School. Through partnerships with Skagit Valley College, Central Washington University, and the University of Washington, students can earn college credits without ever leaving campus—all while staying involved in high school activities. Plus, with recent legislation, CiHS courses are now tuition-free!
