🌿🔬 Sophomore Biology Spotlight! 🔬🌿
Mr. Pagawisan’s Biology class, our amazing sophomores got hands-on with a Stomata Lab Activity!
Students examined leaf samples under the microscope to observe stomata—tiny openings plants use to breathe. They explored how these structures help regulate gas exchange and water loss, deepening their understanding of plant physiology. 🌱✨

Welcome to Dawson County High School, Ryan Wilson!
Hello, my name is Ryan Wilson and this will be my first year in the Glendive School system. I have been teaching for over 10 years, but this is my first year as a special education teacher. I have worked the last decade along the Hi-Line working in both Malta and Wolf Point. My favorite part of working in education is the daily interactions that you get to have with the students. I am married with 2 kids, and 2
dogs. My son is a first year teacher in Big Sandy this year, and my daughter is in her 1st year as an education major. I enjoy coaching and am currently coaching football at the high school.

🧫✨ A Bubbly Day for Advanced Biology! ✨🧫
Mr. Pagawisan’s Advanced Biology students took learning to a whole new level with their Cell Membrane Bubble Lab Activity! Using simple soap bubbles, they explored the complex beauty of cell membranes — and discovered that science can be both fascinating and fun!
Through hands-on investigation and using trays with soap solution, straws, and ribbon/yarn, students demonstrated six key cell concepts in action:
1️⃣ Membranes are Fluid and Flexible – just like bubbles that bend without breaking.
2️⃣ Membranes Can Self-Repair – watch a hole seal itself in seconds!
3️⃣ Eukaryotic Cells Feature Membrane-Bound Organelles – bubbles within bubbles show how compartmentalization works.
4️⃣ Membrane Proteins Perform Special Functions – with tools and models representing how proteins help with transport.
5️⃣ Gap Junctions Aid Transport Between Animal Cells – linking bubbles to share “materials.”
6️⃣ Many Bacteria Cells Reproduce Through Binary Fission – bubbles dividing perfectly into two!
It’s one thing to learn biology — but another to experience it firsthand. 🧠💡
Way to go, Advanced Bio students — curiosity and creativity are definitely bubbling over!

Last weekend, the DCHS Key Clubbers got together to pick up trash around the school and from the football field bleachers. We had a blast listening to Halloween music, planning for the annual Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF, and doing our part to keep our school and community clean. Can't wait for the next trash clean-up day!
