Happy National School Principal's Day to Mr. Noll! 🎉
Today we recognize the dedication and leadership that Mr. Noll brings to Patrick Henry each day—helping create an environment where both students and staff can thrive. The staff made sure to celebrate in a way that truly captured his personality… by completely filling his office with random objects—basically his worst nightmare when it comes to clutter! 😄 Thankfully, Mr. Noll handled the surprise exactly how we’ve come to expect—with a sense of humor and a willingness to laugh along with us. It’s just one of the many reasons he’s a valued leader in our school. We appreciate everything Mr. Noll does for Patrick Henry students, staff, and our school community!

Yesterday was a special day at Patrick Henry! 🎉 We opened the time capsule that was buried in our courtyard during the 1999–2000 school year—and it did not disappoint. It was incredible to take a step back in time and see what life looked like for students over 25 years ago! The event was captured by both KELO and SFSD—check out the videos below to learn more about this unique experience.

Our NASA TechRise team has been hard at work turning their experiment into a flight-ready project. Over the past three months, students have collaborated with NASA mentors 2–3 times a week to design, build, and test their payload—tackling everything from prototyping and soldering to coding and system integration for microgravity conditions. They’ve been problem-solving in real time, refining their setup to study how moondust simulant reacts under different light conditions. 💡🔬

Wish them luck as they approach their final sendoff in a few weeks—their teamwork and dedication are shining, and we can’t wait to see their work take flight.🌟✈️
