the morning, if one had jetted inside from the March winds,
slid past the cafeteria, and ambled to end of the hallway, one would
come upon a dark room that hardly looked different from the other
empty classrooms on a Tuesday morning. However, if one were to
return half way through sixth block, the room would be a buzz. Michelle
Robinson would have been writing long formulas across the dry erase
board and machine parts would have been littered across the floor. The
senior Engineering class was well underway.
In May, the first graduating class of the Engineering Academy strode
across the stage to receive their diplomas. They left with bonds that
would never dissipate. Between fascinating projects, joint math classes,
and strings of jokes, the graduating class certainly bonded over the past

announcements, or members might have been scattered about the
classroom, tutoring their own peers. Though Mu Alpha Theta was just

school. As competitions came and went, its competitive affects were
felt across the state.
In February, the Mu Alpha Theta team took on several schools at
the Mississippi School for Math and Sciences Math Competition. As
the bus pulled into the parking lot at the end of the day, students poured
onto the sidewalk to celebrate. Math teachers ran happily down the
