It looks like you are just getting started with your research. One place you might want to look is at the NJHS constitution, maybe. Be sure to cite your sources. You cannot just have information without the place you got it.

I am currently working on possible changing subjects and doing a blurb on NJHS. My possible ideas are going over informations such as school population, size, lot size, and other information pertaining to CTMS in the same category. I have also sent out an email to the faculty asking for information or links about notable/famous alumni.

The population for CTMS is 863 according to __Mrs. Stephens__ in the front office

Good Morning Cokie,CTMS was built in 1990 the current square footage is 199,958 on 34.97 acres. I hope this information is what you needed. Please let me know if you anything else.Valerie J. SeeDirector of Special Projects817.251.5610 Office817.251.5383 FAX valerie.see@gcisd.net


 * Hello, **


 * Our GT class is doing a project that consists of updating the CTMS Wikipedia page. We were interested in finding out any information on previous notable/famous alumni such as famous athletes, singers, actors etc. If you have any information about these possible alumni, please email me back at glaser4@gmail.com. In addition, if you know any information about what they have done or what they are doing to make them notable, please let us know by including a source or a small blurb of information. **


 * Thank you, **

Today, I worked on emails and finding extra info on my 3 small topics...as well as starting my NJHS blurb

__**//NJHS Blurb//**__ At CTMS, NJHS meets monthly in the S.A.C (student activity center) to talk about our plans for the month. usually consist of ways to help the community or how to get our peers involved in helping around the community. Officers meet before each meeting in order to plan out which tasks need to be accomplished. usually about five or six officers: President, Vice President, Secretary, Historian and Parliamentarian. Each of theses officers have an important role in making sure this organization runs smoothly. By the end of the school year, each member of NJHS must receive ten volunteer hours.
