Skills Competition Gold
CHS senior Cody L. and his partner from Auburn Career Center received gold at the state SkillsUSA competition in the Cyber Security portion of the competition. During the competition, contestants had to successfully complete assigned tasks at ten different stations. Tasks were designed to provide a variety of cyber security challenges based on recommended best practices of the industry.
Cody and his teammate had to take a written exam, provide verbal instructions to an evaluator on completing a task, display knowledge of hardening an end point or standalone computing device, maintain security of and with a managed switch, access, configure and establish security for a router, harden a server against an attack, install and configure network boundary devices, install, configure and secure wireless access points and mobile devices, conduct forensic activities with incident response actions and plan, prepare and execute tests for the penetration testing process. With the exception of the exam station, the team had 45 minutes to complete the task at each station.
Sixth-Graders Host Carnival
It was fun and games for Cardinal Middle School sixth-graders who all got a lesson in economics after hosting their first Carnival April 5.
Students in Mrs. Gwen Santoro’s classes were asked to come up with a business plan to create a game for the event. They had to determine what, how and for whom to produce the games. Students then kept track of their expenses and determined the price of their games.
Families were invited to come to the middle school to participate in the carnival and students then calculated whether they made a profit or lost money based on how many people played their games. Students came up with some really great ideas and had lots of success.
