Medieval Banquet and Family Geography Night - These two new activities are designed for family participation. During the Geography Night families will explore geography around the world and will work as a family to learn new things about the world. The Medieval Banquet is part of the Renaissance Faire held during the Spring. Mock Trial - The Mock Trial team competes during the Fall. Team members try out and are selected to present Hughes at a series of competitions throughout Los Angeles County.
Students learn to research and present information as well as present their case.
Renaissance Faire - The entire 7th grade presents the Renaissance Faire each year during the Spring. After studying the medieval and Renaissance periods of history across the curriculum students create faire booths that support the medieval and Renaissance themes. Wandering musicians, food, and games provide an exciting morning of fun for students, parents, and members of the community. Science Fair - The purpose of the science fair is to provide a focus for 8th grade students to apply skills and concepts learned in science as well as mathematics, reading, art, language arts, and computer classes. The science fair project helps develop self reliance, organizational skills, and other productive work habits.
