Welcome to MHS Science!
Hello! I'm Shawn Hirt and I teach science here at Midway. I love teaching science and doing fun things! I like to see my job as a "Coordinator of Scientific Learning Opportunities" because of how our classes operate and what is expected of students. Usually upon entering our room you will see us actively engaged in hands-on activities and labs! I hope students learn science while they are in my room, but my three primary goals for students are that they: 1) Develop good Communication skills...written and oral, 2) Learn to Cooperate in groups, and 3) Learn to Think Critically. These three skills will prepare students for the working world, where, regardless of whatever job they have, they will need to communicate with co-workers and customers, cooperate in groups to complete jobs and assignments successfully, and have to think critically as our world and jobs constantly change. So, I hope your student learns about cells, genetics, plants, animals and the human body, but while doing so, I hope they develop habits and skills that will help them in whatever future career they choose.
Click on "Class Calandars and Schedules" on the right under "Main Menu" to see what we have done every day and when it will be due!!!
GRADES and CONTACT Info...
PARENTS!!! You have access to you student's grades 24-7 via JupiterGrades.com! Go online and check their progress and see what their current grade is. Grades are updated quickly (usually daily) and are a great way to see what a student has missed and what they need to work on.
Grades can be viewed by clicking on the link above on the right, or at https://login.jupitered.com/login/
For optimum communication from me, please include an email address and phone # when you login to Jupitergrades. This makes it really easy for me to immediately contact you with grades, test notices, etc.
I keep the "Class Calander and Schedule" link up to date every day with information about what we did that day in class, what will be due in the next few days, and when tests and quizzes will be. So click on this link on the left and click on the class for that day and see what we have done. This is also a great tool to use if you or your student was absent and wondering what we did and what is due. So check it out...

NEW!!! GRADE CALCULATOR
(Use to calculate what you need on a final exam when you know both semesters)
Any student who needs help with any classes please contact me ASAP and schedule a time to meet!
I can be available before school, after school and during lunch.
Exam Policy...
It's my usual policy to allow students who are exempt from an exam to take the exam and see if it helps their grade. If it does, great! If the score hurts their grade, we won't count it. This is a good way for students to get some extra credit and possibly raise their grade.
Info Links for Parents and Students
(Just a collection of interesting, parenting advice I have found helpful. You might too!)

Congratulations to Destiny Squire, winner of the MHS Senior Science Award for 2024!!!.
Guideline for the Senior Science Award
The senior science award is given each year during senior awards day in the spring to the best science student in our senior class. Requirements for the award are similar to calculating GPA, except this is a students' science GPA. (4pts given for each A, 3 pts for each B, etc.) Ties would be broken by a students' best science score on any ACT taken.

For those of you who knew my pet Ball Python, "Killer", I have some sad news...he died in Spring of 2013. He donated his body to science, as our Biology II class was just learning about Reptiles, we dissected him. It appears something impacted his intestines and led to his death. See the video..."Killer" Dissection
