Engineering fields are still typically a male-dominated world, but a couple of Thornapple Kellogg High School female students are debunking the myth the classes are only for males and they’re hoping their successes lead to more females in these classes.

An auditorium filled with high school students could never have been more quiet, still, and solemn as Thornapple Kellogg High School's Thursday afternoon. Everyone knew the horrific three-car crash outside Thornapple Kellogg High School was staged and that Hanna McCrath wasn't really killed or Jacob Gipe really sent to prison for drunk driving.
Michigan Insurance & Financial Services, through their MIAFS Gives Back educational grant initiative, presented TKHS Music Director Ray Rickert with a check for $500. Rickert said funds will be used to purchase music stands and other supplies.
Don't be alarmed if you see police, fire and EMS at Thornapple Kellogg Schools Thursday afternoon. At about 1 p.m. the high school will host a mock accident on the service drive between the middle and high school buildings. Emergency crews will arrive just as they would to a real accident scene.
