Students in Stephen Dickey’s engineering class launched rockets last week as their final project.

As their final project in Mr. Dickey’s engineering class, the seniors had to build their own model rocket and have a successful launch.  The rocket was part of their study of aeronautical engineering. Some of the rockets went over 2000 feet in the air, and some went just about 100 feet. Meredith Mallick’s went all the way to the baseball field, from the field hockey fields; and Max Gordon’s went from the MS soccer fields to either the ropes course or the highway. No one knows for sure.
