Redmond High Students Visit Puget Sound Energy's Wild Horse Wind Farm

"During my visit, the rotor blades took five seconds to complete a full rotation. There was a dramatic swooshing sound as the blades carved through the air."

AP Students Visit Puget Sound Energy’s Wild Horse Wind Farm

On April 23, 100 Advanced Placement Environmental Studies students from Redmond High School and International Community School took a field trip to the Wild Horse Wind Farm in Ellensburg, Wash. This wind farm provides approximately the annual energy requirements of 69,000 homes.  Students also learned what careers are available for work on a wind farm.  Lake Washington Schools Foundation funded the bus ride. 

See a fascinating technical review of how wind farms look as described on the Redmond Library Blog.

Special to The Seattle Times

The Mustangs have won 71 consecutive dual matches against KingCo teams.

REDMOND — Jake Crowley hasn't been sleeping well lately.

Any thoughts of sustained sleep ended when Crowley's newborn son, Elijah, arrived March 27. But that's not all that's kept the Redmond High School girls golf coach's mind a bit scattered recently. More.

UPDATED: Mike Town celebrates his NEA award at Redmond High.

Redmond High teacher Mike Town receiving award from Phillipe Cousteau

UPDATED:  Excitement abounded at Redmond High School this morning.  The Performing Arts Center overflowed with students and citizens as dignitaries from the state and around the country were on hand to recognize and award Mike Town for his NEA Green Prize in Public Education.

The NEA Foundation presented Mr.  Town a $25,000 award and national recognition for his Cool School Challenge curriculum.  In addition to the NEA award, it was announced Mike won a 1-year Fellowship to work in Washington D.C. under the National Science Foundation.  His absence will be noticed in the Pacific Northwest community next year.

Through Cool Schools Challenge and Wild Sky Wilderness efforts, Town has developed strong relationships with Congressman Jay Inslee and Governor Gregoire.   A Keynote speaker, Phillipe Cousteau commented that Mike has an ability to reach out to legislatures.  "In talking to Mike last night, he knew more about congressmen and staffers than I did", said Cousteau drawing a chuckle from the audience.  Phillipe lives in D.C. and frequents the Hill.   Phillipe is Correspondent for Green Planet and the grandson of Jacque Cousteau.

Town competed with 38 applicants for the award.  Town's Cool School Challenge curriculum has helped students, teachers, and school districts from over 150 schools nationwide reduce over 1.5 million pounds of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions.  Through infrastructure changes and the students' work, Redmond High School has saved over $30,000 per year in electricity and waste costs and reduced their carbon dioxide emissions by over 200,000 pounds.

In addition to the success of the Cool School Challenge project, Town has the highest enrollment of an AP Environmental Science class in the state, with approximately half of every of the Redmond High School graduating class taking his course.  Town thanked Principal Jane Todd and acknowledged ex-Mayor Rosemary Ives for her support.    

Video clips of Mike and from Governor Gregoire were played.  Mike has always lived in small towns outside of cities.  He said "the single biggest point source for green-house gas is local high schools.  And, ""the best way of mitigating environmental problems has and always will be education."   Governor Gregoire praised Town for his work to reduce the carbon footprint at Redmond fire houses and she plans to take Mike's program to schools statewide.   

Congressman Jay Inslee will join Mike Town and other panelists in Bellingham, Saturday, May 15th to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Western Washington's Huxley College of the Environment.  Town is a graduate.  According to Manca Valum, Director of Development, Huxley is "probably the oldest college in the country with the sole purpose of studying the environment."  It was founded in 1969.  Ms. Vahum was in the audience.

The teaching curriculum can be freely downloaded from the Cool School Challenge web site.  It helps student teams gather data about the carbon footprint of each class and, based on their findings, create an action plan to reduce their impact.

UPDATE: FEATURE STORY: A reader comments about our neighborhood's drug bust story.

An Aging Babyboomer Gardener said...

It’s always a surprise what I can learn by reading the Redmond Blog, especially this thread on the drug arrests at Redmond High School on Feb 19. It’s also interesting what I can’t find out. The press release said 11 students were arrested for selling drugs including marijuana, heroin, cocaine, MDMA(Ecstasy) and methamphetamine, although the mother who wrote in said that her son was arrested for selling marijuana only. How many of the other students sold marijuana only and how many sold the much more hard-core drugs? The Redmond Police Department’s grouping of all of the students under a single umbrella of all the drugs creates a guilt-by-association atmosphere. The department should be specific about the various drugs and quantities that each student sold so we can determine the magnitude of the problem.

What surprised me most was how much marijuana costs!!! It appears that 1.5 grams costs about $20 and that works out to almost $3000 per pound. As an avid gardener who grows vegetables and flowers from seed, I would guess that marijuana is no more difficult to grow than hothouse tomatoes or petunias. And yet, the most a pound of tomatoes goes for is $3.00. It is astounding to me the amount of money that is involved in the pot trade, and it’s all because it’s illegal, not because it’s difficult to grow. I can now see why drug cartels have become so powerful and violent considering the amount of money to be made on such an easy-to-grow plant. Governor Gregoire is busy trying to add penny taxes to bottled water and chocolate. The states’ governors should get together and urge the Federal Government to legalize marijuana and then control it and tax it the way alcohol is distributed and taxed. (Remember that Prohibition didn’t work and just made Al Capone a household name.)

With the benefit of hindsight, I can tell you that there were pot-heads in my junior and senior high schools in the 1970s – most were experimenting but there was a small group that would find a way to get their drugs no matter what. Alcohol and tobacco replaced marijuana and I know the dedicated marijuana users became alcoholics and heavy smokers (many are now AA members.) As for the cocaine-heroin-LSD user that I knew of in my high school, he had serious behavior issues in elementary school and was psycho-violent as an adult and is now halfway through a 65-year sentence for slashing one of his rivals into pieces during a drug-robbery. In my view, all drugs are not equally dangerous.

As for the 11 students who were charged with selling drugs, it was also surprising that so many people automatically assumed they were guilty. And yet the Feb. 24 edition of the Seattle Times had an article about how crime labs make errors and do shoddy work. Did the crime lab actually analyze the drugs from the busts or did they falsify the data as sometimes happen to expedite the results? Maybe the kids just put some oregano in a bag and sold it to make some quick money? What about this Monika, the informer? How do we know that she didn’t taint the evidence to make it appear that she was more effective?

Some writers commented that this was a wake-up call for parents, and implied that the kids would be off the hook and back in school. If anyone has read the Becca Bill, the often-cited bill that’s supposed to keep kids in school, they’ll discover that students 16 and older are treated differently than students 15 and younger. So these drug busts are most likely one-way tickets to the dropout line for most of these kids. In 10 years, how many of these students will be alcoholics? Do we even care?

Do you agree with all she has to say?   Is she right on?   Or way off base?  Is her arguement missing a key piece of information?  Do you think her article is good, but too long?   Does any one want to kick off with an opinion or thought?  Thank you for your consideration and interest. 

Catherine Kelly, first lady wrestler in the history of Redmond High takes fourth in State.

Did you know high school girls wrestle competitively?   I must be showing my age because this was news to me. 

Redmond High junior Catherine Kelly, wrestled at 112 pounds in the girls' division, Class 4A State tournament and placed  fourth in State!  (Kelly is standing on the 4th step in the left photo and in the middle of the team photo on right). The tournament was held February 20-21 at the Tacoma Dome. According to Coach Mullen, Catherine won four matches at state and lost two.

More amazingly, Catherine Kelly is the first lady wrestler in the history of Redmond High School!  Kelly made it to State as a sophomore and again as a junior this year.  Expect another good run for the Title next year.   

On the right is a  picture of the coaching staff and the 3 members of the team who qualified for State. (Coaches Paul Mullen, Bob Kaneko, and Reed Risenmay. Wrestlers Catherin Kelly, Tyler Black, and Joe Glass). Glass and Kelly are juniors and will return to Redmond Wrestling next year. Black is a senior.

REDMOND — For Alex and Katie Whitaker, the basketball court provides a temporary escape.

It is an escape from grief.

It is an escape from heartache.

It is an escape from the reality that their mother is gone

Note from Bob Yoder/Seattle Times Partner:    My daughter Lexie, has been friends with Katie, Alex and Ben since pre-school.  My wife Pam, sat in the bleachers with Sally for seven years watching Katie and Lexie play Mustang basketball.  We attended Sally's Celebration Memorial on January 30 with ~500 others from the "Whitaker Community".  I was too emotionally involved to report on this and told Mickey I wished to show my respect for our beloved Sally with silence.

Redmond High Principal Jane Todd and associates report to the School Board

Updated, 11/11:  It's Superintendent Chip Kimball's practice to host one school per month and today was Redmond High School's opportunity.   Redmond High School Principal Jane Todd (speaking) and her associates, Ms. Pointer and Mr. Higgins, gave their presentation during the  October 12 regular meeting.

According to Superintendent Kimball, Redmond High ranks in the top 85 high schools in the country.  Ms. Todd celebrated the achievements of her students and teachers.  83% of Redmond High graduates go directly onto a post-secondary institution.  854 students took AP tests in 27 subject areas.  The SAT mean score is 40 points above the state mean for the last five years.  PSAT testing has taken a huge jump.

Surprisingly, despite Redmond High's obvious success, the school is  "under improvement" for Annual Yearly Progress (AYP)!  Why?  They fell below standard in one of 37 areas -  "Special Education of Students."  The Federal program, 'No Child Left Behind' is decidedly askew. Kimball anticipates the law will be  changed in a couple years.

When Einstein and Redmond Elementary fell below standards this year, 100 students opted to transfer to other schools.  Federally supported Title One schools have a transfer option.  Even if Redmond High was a Title One school it's highly doubtful students would transfer because the school is so highly rated.

Jane and her associates talked of their efforts in "building culture" at the school.  Several programs are implemented:

•  "RHS HELP" - 160 students 'in need' receive financial support from Microsoft, the PTSA, and other groups for everything from lunches to school supplies. 
•  The Latino demographic -  Latinos meet once a month - usually on college tours - to build leadership to establish better connections and fill in social gaps with the student body.
• Afro-Americans have started a Black Student Union with similar goals as the Latinos. 
• A sophomore core of teachers and students meet regularly to smooth the transition into high school.
• A new attendance and vacation policy holds the students and parents accountable for absences.  

Chip recognized Ms. Todd for her progress in "building culture".  Ms. Todd experienced a general culture of "NO" at the start.  A "can do" attidtude is the status quo today.

How do LWSD high schools rank with other Districts in University of Washington's admission decision?

Photo is of Redmond High School Principal Jane Todd (speaking), Associate Principal Lloyd Higgins, and Associate Principal Melissa Pointer during an October school board meeting.  (According to Ms. Todd, 83% of  RHS students go directly into a post-secondary institution upon graduation.  Does this surprise you?)

How do LWSD high schools rank in the UW’s admission decision?

In making admission decisions, UW ranks high schools based on how big the drop is between the high school and the UW’s GPAs. Most high school students experience a drop in their GPA going from high school to the University of Washington, the most academically selective public university in the state. Schools with the smallest GPA drop receive the highest rank and are awarded the most points by the UW.  231 Washington State schools were ranked.  These students attended the UW in the time period 2000-2004 during the Don Saul Administration.   How do LWSD high schools compare to others?

Private:  Bush ranked #1, Lakeside #2, NW Yeshiva (Mercer Is.) #4; University Prep (Sea) #5,  Charles Wright Acad. (Tacoma) # 6;  Overlake #10; Eastside Catholic #48; Bear Creek #100; Bellevue Christian #114

The Islands:    Bainbridge Island HS #8, Vashon Island HS #9, Mercer Island HS #14. 

Bellevue School District:  Bellevue International #7; Newport HS #28; Bellevue HS; Interlake HS # 47; Forest Ridge #51

Issaquah School District:   Issaquah HS #15; Skyline HS #25

LWSD:   International Community (Kirkland) #3; Redmond HS #13;  Eastlake HS #63; Juanita HS #82; Lake Washington HS #103.

North Shore School District:  Woodinville HS # 71; Bothell #76; Inglemoor HS # 80.

Seattle School District (Tier 1): Blanchet #18; Shorewood #36; Ballard #61; Roosevelt #77; Shorecrest #79, O'Dea #110.

It's looking like LWSD is living up to our local real estate agents' persistent claims of "desirability", though lots of other good schools are out there.   Tacoma, Kent, Lynwood, and Montlake Terrace are ones to keep away from.  Yakima's district schools (4) all do well with one ranked #19.

The above data represents "end results" of high school performance for the retired Don Saul Administration.  Chip Kimball was hired as LWSD Superintendent about two years ago. 

On 9/28, the LWSD School Board reviewed Superintendent Chip Kimball's "end results" for the first two years of his Administration.  The  relevant available data was from 3-year cohort K-2.  It appears the end results for students were: 71-85% at standard for writing.  76-85% at standard for literature and drama.  K-2 students were 23% at standard for speaking a second language at home.  (Spanish is the 2nd largest and Chinese the 3rd largest second language at home).

Matt Campbell launches "Sportspixs.com" photo sharing service for Greater Redmond community.

Hi Bob,

My name is Matt Campbell.  In 1971 my family moved to Redmond from Seattle. I have been a citizen of Redmond since I was five years old.  Thanks for getting involved and doing this blog to make Redmond a better place to live.

I have a hobby website, that posts sports pictures I take of Redmond High School, Redmond Junior High and other events. My wife is the RHS Cheer coach.  Lately, I've posted pictures of  Mustang Football, Wrestling, and Cheer.  At the request of the  local Reporter, I've worked with them to photgraph the Girls Soccer team.  I'm going to try to get around to the community and support other groups, like girls and boys lacrosse.

I recently took a few photos of the kids in the park.  These kids do amazing things on bikes and boards and get little recognition for their sport.  Look for a folder called "Skate Park"!

My site is becoming a place where people can go to see their pictures, share them and in some cases download them.  Some pictures, but not all, can be freely downloaded.  However, they may all be viewed and enjoyed.  I'm an IT guy for a manufacturing company in Woodinville and this is a total side job that helps support my passion for photography,

I'd like to share the site with you and your Readers.  Please feel free to use some of my pictures for community Blog stories, at no charge to the Redmond Neighborhood Blog.  All I ask is you please reference my name and website with the pictures you post.
