Brian Carr, DHS IB Class of 2025, stopped by while home for fall break to share how things are going at the University of Alabama at Huntsville. He’s majoring in aerospace engineering with a minor in astrophysics, part of the honors program, and thriving — his lowest grade is a 95!
Brian entered college with 44 credit hours from his IB & AP courses (which UAH capped at 34), and says IB prepared him well:
“I literally wrote over 5,000 words this week.”
He had the highest grade on his most recent English paper and credits the Extended Essay for helping him tackle writing across all subjects. We love hearing success stories from our alumni! 🖤💛

Our 9th grade Pre-IB students wrapped up their Shakespeare unit in style! 🎭 They enjoyed a live production of Romeo and Juliet, learned about the history of swords with Mr. Jensen (plus a live sword-fighting demo!), and capped off the day with a high-energy Just Dance competition. What an amazing way to kick off Thanksgiving break! 🍂✨
Math meets creativity on the Warrior math hall! 🎉 Mrs. Stubblefield’s Algebra I Honors class had a blast with ‘Turkey in the Oven,’ while her DE Precalculus students battled it out in Log Wars. Learning + fun = success! 🦃📐
Our IB juniors and seniors let the good times roll in New Orleans! 🎭✨ Students toured Tulane’s campus, learned about the application process at a selective university, explored Audubon Park, and enjoyed beignets and sunshine in City Park. We were even joined for lunch by a Davidson IB graduate now thriving at Tulane! A perfect day to dream big and spend time together.
