A few years ago, Holbrook High School Assistant Principal and Career and Technical Education (CTE) Director Dr. Charles Haussman and HHS physics and math teacher Joel Daniels began to develop a shared vision of building an engineering program at HHS. With the support of Principal Lance Phaturos, Superintendent Dr. Robbie Koerperich, HHS math specialist Rick Hurst, and the Holbrook Unified School District Governing Board, that vision became a reality for the 2019-20 school year. The State of Arizona permits a high school engineering program of study to be managed and taught through a CTE platform. The program of study allows Algebra II to substitute for Engineering I. As a result, HHS students who had completed Algebra II were provided an opportunity to take an Engineering II class this school year. Currently, 13 students are enrolled in the inaugural Engineering II course with plans for an additional Engineering III to be offered next school year. At this moment, the Engineering II students are constructing prototype wind generators and experimenting with various turbine blade materials and turbine blade dimensions. The students are also making extensive use of a 3-D printer to facilitate their work. Once selecting the most efficient wind turbine model, the innovative Roadrunners will then design and build a larger version to power a new class project.
