Nathan Hale Alumni Foundation
has donated funds to start an indoor herb garden at Hale.
The school received a $10,000 grant to make improvements to the outdoor Nature Center next year. They have plans for some new raised beds that will be used for vegetables and herbs. HARDSCAPE MATERIALS in Bixby has offered to donate pond supplies to renew the water feature in the Center. The indoor herb garden will give students the opportunity to have a trial run before going on to large-scale gardening next year. The harvest from the herb garden, and new outdoor Nature Center, will be used in the new Culinary Arts magnet program. Botany, Biology and Special Education students will contribute to the gardening efforts. |

Medical advantage comes to Hale High
Evan Taylor said a new program at Hale High School will help him know before he graduates what part of the medical field he will enter. "I'm thinking about becoming an anesthesiologist," said Taylor, a sophomore. "This program will let me see what an anesthesiologist does. I may decide I want to do something different, but it will definitely be in medicine." A mini medical program is under way at Hale, 6960 E. 21st St., with 70 students enrolled. The program is in conjunction with the school's newest Partner in Education - Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences. "OSU is interested in supporting Hale students who have a desire to go into the medical field by allowing them to come into our world and see what we do on a daily basis," said Dr. Jenny Alexopulos, associate dean of graduate medical education at the OSU Center for Health Sciences. She said the program is based on one run by Stanford University in California. Sophomores, juniors and seniors enter the program by taking Trish Pruitt's anatomy class. "Teachers and doctors have a lot in common in that we both touch and change lives. This program will help students achieve things they didn't think were possible," Pruitt said. Alexopulos said through the Stanford program, many students from disadvantaged backgrounds have entered medicine. Hale Principal, Chris Johnson, said a key component is hands-on experience for the students. Leigh Goodson, vice president for enrollment management and external affairs dean of students at OSU Center for Health Sciences, said the program includes more than bookwork. "For example, when Hale students come to the center, they'll get to look at human cadaver parts, such as organs," she said. OSU has agreed to provide mentors; access to equipment and supplies to assist teachers with labs; shadowing; field trips to OSU facilities; and assistance in developing an athletic and personal training program as a component of Hale's dietetics and nutrition curriculum, Pruitt said. OSU will conduct monthly sessions, such as Forensic Science Day-CSI in March, when an instructor will conduct a "CSI" type presentation. Tulsa Public Schools Science Curriculum Specialist Adrienne Elder said all TPS students have the opportunity to transfer to Hale for the program. "Hale is on the road to giving students the knowledge and skills to be successes in the global marketplace where emphasis is on science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Health fields include all these disciplines," Elder said. |

RANGERS FOOTBALL: The Rangers have a young team and a tough schedule this year, and we were well behind for most of this first game of the season, a scrimmage between the Rangers and the Central Braves. This amazing play, late in the game, just about sent all of the Ranger fans down onto the field to celebrate! On the following play, Central fumbled and we recovered it and quickly made another touchdown.

Game Plan:
FOOTBALL - "Our strength is going to be the offensive line
and running backs," began Hale Rangers' head coach Kevin Busch.
"We have two running backs that are three year starters, and the
entire line are are all three year starters." Those
running backs are seniors Kenny King Defensively, Hale is going to run a 4-3-4. "We have confidence in our secondary and our line-backers," Busch said. "They showed me some upside in spring ball, and I think we're going to be a step up from last year. We have five returners on defense that will be the anchor of our defense." Those starters are senior Garret Guthrie (5-10, 170) at safety, Thomas and William Johnson at corner, senior linebacker T. J. Hickman (5-11, 195) and junior linebacker Blake Duncan (6-0, 180). Duncan had 10 sacks last year, and Busch mentioned, "He's a one of a kind. He's an all-American kind of kid." Looking forward to this year, Busch remarked, "The kids have to learn to be dedicated in the off-season. Last year, we had 15-20 players at the off-season workouts. This year, we had 60. It's all about team unity and pride in their program." |
