On the same day SpaceX launched Starship Flight 14, Mrs. Horn’s physics students launched rockets of their own—much smaller rockets, powered by the same laws of physics!
Students built, painted, and launched their models to see Newton’s laws in action. Next, they’ll create hallway posters explaining the science behind the flight.
Ready to put your curiosity into motion? Make physics part of your schedule at Daniel Boone High School!
Note: The football game vs. TN High has been moved to 10/29.
Attention Trailblazers! Just a reminder that picture remakes will be this Thursday, October 1st, 2026.

The Daniel Boone High School Administration Team announced today that Evie Livotte has been named a Commended Student in the 2027 National Merit Scholarship Program. A Letter of Commendation from the school and the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which administers the program, will be presented by the principal to this scholastically talented senior.
Approximately 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will not advance to the next phase of the 2027 competition for National Merit Scholarship awards, Commended Students rank among the top 50,000 students who participated in the 2027 competition by taking the 2025 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT).
"Those named as Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success," stated a spokesperson for the NMSC. "These students represent a valuable national resource. Their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development, are vital to advancing educational excellence in our nation. We hope this recognition will help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success."

The honorees—Atticus W. Francisco and Lucas N. Williams—are among more than 16,000 semifinalists nationwide competing for approximately 6,700 National Merit Scholarships worth roughly $24 million to be awarded next spring.
Semifinalists who meet specific advancement criteria will progress to the finalist level of competition. The corporation expects approximately 95% of semifinalists to attain finalist standing, with roughly half of those finalists ultimately receiving National Merit Scholarship awards.
To advance to finalist status, candidates must demonstrate outstanding academic achievement throughout high school, secure endorsement from a school official, submit an essay, and earn qualifying SAT or ACT scores. Finalist selection also considers participation in school and community activities, demonstrated leadership, employment history, and honors and awards.
National Merit Scholarship winners for 2027 will be announced between April and July.
