As I write this post I have blue and green hair!!! (courtesy of the cosmetology students at N.T.H.S. ) We had great turn out for a special Wednesday edition of COOL SCHOOLS!
Cutting edge technology in carpentry was amazing. I learned about a “C and C Router” that can carve just about anything out of wood if you design it with a CADD Based program. Employers are already looking for people who know how to use this technology in their cabinet shops. It’s one of the newest most efficient tools out there and NTHS has it.
There is so much more to be proud of there. Click on the images below to check out top notch marketing students, great artistry in the school, and find out what engineering has to do with Blue grass Music.
Thanks to the hundreds of students and staff who got up very early to join us for our live reports.
See you Monday On Eyewitness News this Morning, when we’ll announce where the COOL SCHOOLS Tour is headed next.
Happy Thanksgiving.

The Home of the LITTLE NOISES was pretty loud this morning. Nathan Hale Ray High school in Moodus was so much fun we got the gym floor rumbling from excitement, instead the original reason the school got that nickname. (The building sits on a fault) .
The High Energy traslates in the classroom too! Just stop in the design class to check out how students use virtual wind tunnel testing as they manufacture a sleek electric car. Or try visiting Forensic Science where future Crime Scene Investigators use trigonometry to analyze blood spatter to tell which way a victim was walking away from a crime scene.
We have so much more to show you, so click on the images below to enjoy our stories from NHR H.S. and high lites from our LIVE Pep Rally this morning. Thank you to the hundreds of students and staff who made it out to celebrate with us starting at 430 this morning.

Just a few of the words to describe the students in ALL FOUR Academies at Hartford Public High School. Everything from debating the right to bear arms in Law and Governement Academy, to learning Physics by rolling a frozen turkey down an inclined plane made our visit fun and informative.
Passion, Prepartion and Perseverance make H.P.H.S. special.

What a great start to our Sophomore season. Conard H.S. in West Hartford had so much enthusiasm at 4:30 in the morning. I lost my voice just trying to keep up with the students and staff.
The Jazz band, the select choir, the athletes and so much more I can even begin to list everything. Check out the video from all stories we did at the school…by clicking on them on wfsb.com.
A recycling program that saved the school 25 thousand dollars in energy costs! The Unified Theater ensemble pairs students with mental and physical challenges with other students throughout the school for an annual stage production…and there is so much more.
Did you know the Conard population is 40 percent minority? Diversity is truly their strength! In fact that had 1000 students taking advanced placement classes last year! Dozens of Conard’s graduates went into college as a sophomore, because they received so many college credits when they were still in high School!
I hope you enjoyed the broadcast as much as we did. Check out video from our LIVE pep rally we had to celebrate all of the COOL things going on at Conard.
If have a COOL SCHOOL fill out an application on wfsb.com and maybe will take the mobile newsroom to your Campus!
Have a great weekend.

New Haven’s GOT Talent!!! The jazz band at CAH high is one of the best around. Even their teacher believes they are professional quality, check them out in our web extras below soooo COOL!
One of my favorite stories of the week was about the cooperative effort between John C. Daniels school 8th graders and the Arts and Humanities high school students. The 8th graders wrote an Mystery Novel about their school, the High School Students turned it into a screen play. The Juniors and Seniors shot and edited a movie version of it. Now some music scholar from nearby Yale university are composing a score for it… How COOL is that? The red carpet premiere is coming up in June.
There are so many talented kids at The Cooperative Arts and Humanities High School in New Haven we could have done 2 full shows there.
But thanks to the internet we can show you some of the things that didn’t make it to live TV this morning. I hope you enjoy some of our WEB EXTRA’S. Just click below to see the video.

And a big thank you to all the parents who got up super early to bring their kids to school at 4 am.

Have a great weekend.
